The October Crisis
The Virtual Historian - The October Crisis: Learning Guide for Teachers
The goal of this comprehensive case is to investigate and contextualize the series of events that led to the adoption of the War Measures Act by the federal government in October 1970. Unlike core cases, comprehensive cases engage students in deep and wide-ranging activities with a variety of sources from multiple perspectives.
Students are placed in the historical context of a virtual investigation. In all aspects of the inquiry, students are guided in the study, questioning, analysis, and evaluation of a key event in Canadian history, based upon authentic historical sources. For teaching purposes, students are invited to analyze historical sources through a set of sourcing questions that facilitates their understanding and analysis. These questions/answers will also serve in the writing of an argumentative essay (opinion/persuasive writing), as found in the mission.

Canada in the Post-War Era
Ontario History Quest Digital Collection - Canada in the Post-War Era: From the Baby Boom to the Trudeau Era 1945-1970s
The first television station went on the air in Canada in 1952. At about the same time, Canadians saw their first shopping mall and their first subway. Life in Canada was changing dramatically. It was almost as if people wanted to make up for the World War II years.
You and your classmates will act as historians and use primary sources to learn more about living in these times. Diaries, drawings, maps, newspapers, and business and government records are some of the eyewitness reports that you will examine as your main source for information and analysis.
You will begin your quest by completing a series of introductory activities, concluding by visiting primary source stations. You then will be assigned a role in a class WebQuest, where you will use primary sources to research your assignment and make reports.
The primary sources, presented in digital format, are facsimiles of original documents in the collections of the Archives of Ontario, the City of Toronto Archives and the Toronto Public Library. Includes a teacher's guide.

Encyclopaedia Britannica WW2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's Guide to Normandy 1944
Encyclopædia Britannica tells the story of the Normandy Invasion through the spoken recollections of veterans who fought it, the newsreels that brought the news home, and the written words of historians who have dedicated years to studying the great campaign.
Encyclopaedia Britannica - Normandy: Change the Course of History
In this role-playing activity, students will assume the identity of a real actor in the Normandy Invasion drama: Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, commander of all German forces in western Europe. But the script of the drama is changed: What if Rundstedt somehow learned exactly where, when, and how the Allies were going to invade France? The students are asked to consider two very different but equally plausible reactions by Rundstedt and then to explain which of the two would better meet the field marshal's goal: to save Germany and the German people from humiliation and annihilation.

Armoured Warrior
Canadian War Museum: Armoured Warrior
Armoured Warrior is an interactive activity based on the real-life experiences of Canadian tank crews that fought in North West Europe during the Second World War. Unlike their stories, however, YOU get to decide how this adventure will end. As the commander of a Sherman tank in the final days of the Normandy Campaign of 1944, you will live through some of the excitement, despair, brutality and sheer horror of one day's fighting at the front.
