French Heritage St. Ann's Academy's French cultural heritage can be traced back to it's beginnings in rural Quebec, with the founding of the Sisters of St. Ann. The influences of the Sisters' French backgrounds are reflected in the architecture of St. Ann's Academy, and in some of the activities and characteristics that were introduced to the students by the Sisters. Perspectives in History History has many perspectives, depending upon who is telling it, and what stories the person chooses to tell. Sometimes what we read in textbooks is only a small part of a much bigger story, and many perspectives are often not included. History is also much more than just what we find in textbooks, and can be recorded in many ways.
Some histories are oral, and passed on from generation to generation through the telling of stories.
Others are written, or recorded on tapes. St. Ann's history is recorded in its paintings, its buildings, in memoirs from students, in books and written records, and on tapes of oral interviews with past students. Record your interview with a tape recorder. Prepare some questions before your interview. You might want to do a bit of research on this event beforehand.
