From the Past Tell a Story Family Treasures is a unique and innovative project for students in grades 4 to 8. It offers a cross-curriculum program that is an invaluable tool for teaching history, geography, language arts and social studies. It also teaches children how to create their own pages on the web and share their discoveries and stories with the world. Family Treasures creates bridges between students, their unique family history and their identity as Canadians.
Students search their home for objects from the past that are significant to their family.
They create narratives from their family's history and share their heirlooms with their classmates and the world. Family Treasures is an excellent tool for enhancing the positive aspects of the multicultural mosaic that is so important to Canadian society.
