This project about how did WWI impact Canada’s identity was pretty interesting. It started on March 16th and ended on May 17th it was interesting also because during April we went on a trip to the capital and in turn the Canadian war museum.
Our first part of this unit was reading a book over spring break. I chose the book Generals die in bed it was about a Canadian soldier on the frontline of WWI and his tragic story.
After we finished that book we came back to school we went on a field trip to our capital Ottawa. During this field trip, we learned about the battle of vimmy ridge with vas the Canadian army’s first major wartime victory. We also went to the Canadian war museum and saw a lot of cool artifacts and my favorite part of the war museum was the military vehicles collection in the basement of the museum.
After we came back to Vancouver after the trip we had to make a comic book about a technology or event in WWI and present it to grade 6-7 kids.
My comic book was about artillery in WWI and how it impacted each side of the war.
My first and second page was an overview page and about the history of artiliry.
The third and fourth page are about the impact of artillery and a story about someone who was impacted by artillery during the war.
Overall this project was pretty long being over three months but it was one of my favorite projects of this year. I learned a lot about WWI and comic book creation during this unit.
