Abstract
The lessons in this resource pack are designed to be taught as stand-alone lessons that can be
used within the CHC2D course. These lessons incorporate curriculum expectations while
exploring the historical thinking concepts of historical significance, continuity and change, cause
and consequence, and historical perspectives.
Students will learn how to critically analyze a variety of primary sources, including videos,
photographs, letters and posters. Students will further learn to avoid presentism in critical
analysis and to make connections from specific events or people to the broader context of
WWII.
Students will conclude these lessons with a greater understanding of the major events and the
people who shaped Canadian identity and policies during WWII.
