Wartime Propaganda in Canada
This guide invites students to explore Canadian propaganda posters from the Second World War through critical thinking activities. These activities are best suited to students who have some contextual knowledge of the Second World War and propaganda. Students can consult The Canadian Encyclopedia for more information.
This toolkit offers classroom activities that promote research and analysis, build critical thinking and communication skills, and explore Canada’s history. This resource is designed to align with current Canadian curricula and has been produced for use in middle and high school classrooms.
Teachers may wish to address topics not covered in this kit to provide a more complete understanding of Canada’s recent military history. We hope these resources will help you work with primary sources to teach military history and oral history in your classroom.
