War of 1812 Seminar
On Wednesday October 24, 2012 I attended a conference at Brock University in St. Catharines on the War of 1812. At this seminar, authentic music was played by a militia band. Guests previewed the introduction of the new War of 1812 documentary during dinner. After dinner, the teacher resource book was presented and teacher authors shared their ideas and carried out brief lessons. Finally, a panel of three men: an American Representative, a British (Canadian) representative and an Aboriginal representative were available to ask questions to. This conference was extremely educational and influential in shaping my personal views about teaching students about the War of 1812. The resources that were given out were fantastic! I hope to use the lessons and share the documentary with my future students!
