Hi LINC 7 students!

Great work on your role play work in Three Generations! It seemed like we were watching very real family discussions!

Here's the link to a slide show of the cave art of Ra Paulette, including photographs of him working.

Here's the link to a one-minute video that shows him working on his cave art. It's hard work! He says he wants to "create a space that is transformative (that transforms the viewer)."


In honour of Remembrance Day.....

Here's a link to the letter written to by Civil War soldier Sullivan Ballou to his wife back home. He was killed after writing the letter.

Here's the excerpt from Ken Burns' great documentary The Civil War, with photographs of Sullivan Ballou and his wife. And a beautiful music score.


The History of BC...

Next week I'll give you an on-line assignment. You're going to use the on-line BC Archives to find information on First Nations in B.C.

The BC Archives are part of the Royal BC Museum (in Victoria). They contain the historical records of the Government of British Columbia, providing research material for both the provincial government and public researchers.

On this link, you will find the information you need on three pages. The first page is titled "Introduction." The second page is titled "Historical Overview." The third page is titled "First Nations." You can get from one page to the other by clicking "Forward" or "Back" at the bottom of each page.
