In this podcast, Canada's History speaks to Karen Parfitt, a finalist for the 2018 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Karen created a museum project for her grade 9/10 French immersion Canadian history class. After visiting a few museums and exploring virtual exhibits, students were tasked with selecting a series of artifacts to curate their own exhibit around a theme of their choice. The students wrote a research paper explaining their choice of artifacts and also built miniature exhibits, or dioramas, which were put on display for students to view.
