To mark the centenary of the First World War, Historica Canada, the country’s largest organization dedicated to enhancing awareness of Canada’s history and citizenship, has created this educational guide to assist teachers and students in learning about Canada’s involvement in this global conflict. Developed in line with the historical thinking concepts created by the Historical Thinking Project, this guide complements Canadian middle-school and high-school curricula. It invites students to deepen their understanding of the First World War through primary- and secondary-source research and examination, engaging discussion questions and group activities. This guide was produced with the generous support of the Government of Canada. Further educational activities and resources are available on The Canadian Encyclopedia. We hope the guide will assist you in teaching this important period of Canadian history in your social studies or history classroom.
