Welcome all!! As part of my educational rounds project I am required to present my findings concerning film use in a Senior History classroom. I've decided to scrap the ordinary route of presenting through a slideshow, pamphlet or report. I have decided to post my project in a blog where I will be able to share the various film links and websites I have discovered during my research. Enjoy!

Finding History in a Music Video



Canadian artists sometimes include hometown images in their videos. This video includes the historic Port Arthur in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The lyrics include a lot of information about Thunder Bay culture (references to Terry Fox, and the lumber industry). The video is classroom friendly (aside from the occasional alcoholic beverage present). We used this video in my second placement class and looked for historically significant buildings in the city. We also analysed the lyrics for local history references.
