Loewen: Chapter 2


Screencast

Big Question: How do we change Social Studies curriculum to better reflect the reality of learning history?




Caption: Some areas are looking for alternatives to Columbus Day.


Christopher Columbus Game

The BBC produced this website page on Columbus. Featured on this page is a short animated game about Columbus. Given it's short length, it could be a good introductory activity for a class. This especially true because it is NOT completely historically accurate and shows clear bias which can be used to prompt class discussion about how we view Columbus.
