County Central High School

Remembrance Day 2011
Watch the video on the story of Dieppe.   When you are finished, please leave your feedback on the Sliderocket website.  In your feedback, please provide suggestions as to what you might do to move the presentation forward.  If you have suggestions for improvements, this is what I am looking for.  
As you watch, please think about the trials and tribulations in your own life.  How have you met these challenges?  What did you do to overcome the challenges?  Access twitter by clicking on the word or on the image below and create an account.  You will need an email account to do so.  Feel free to use your Palliser email account for this purpose.  Search for the Username 'CCHSRemembers'  and request to follow this account. Through this account we will discuss methods of developing our own Narratives.  Do you have suggestions of other multimedia tools that could be used to develop your own?

For Students:  Develop a set of interview questions that you can use to gather information on the experience of a veteran of a military conflict.  This can include someone who fought in the 2nd World War or Peace Keeping Mission or even your local RCMP officer.   
Interview the person you have chosen.  Have them share their experience in the form of a narrative.  You need to pull together the information into a Narrative story that captures the essence of their experience.
Then, using digital media, develop their story so that it might be shared in a multimedia location.
The videos will be posted to the County Central website videos section or in another location on the school website so that we might share them and discuss the nature of the information as it relates to various curricular outcomes in language arts (research, story telling, writing process, interviewing, developing questions).   You can go to this URL now and click on the Drop Down and locate CCHS Remembers...  You will find the Dieppe video published there as an example of what might be created.
As a class, we will examine the videos and then determine which ones will be used to share with the remainder of the school during the Remembrance Day celebrations.  The most exemplar will be shared at the Community Remembrance Day celebration on November 11, 2011.
