Teacher Introduction to the History 20 Online Resource Bundle

The History 20 online bundle acts as a resource supporting the Saskatchewan Social Studies Curriculum. The structure of the online resource project will be familiar to teachers using the Evergreen Curriculum site. Each section follows the major units, and sub-units, found in the History 20 World Issues Curriculum Guild, Saskatchewan Education, September 1994.

Each page has been developed to act as a "resource hot sheet" dealing with topics identified in the History 20 curriculum. The resource hot sheets can act as a primary or secondary reading, or to assist in classroom discussions of a variety of topics. Each page has been supported with appropriate visual images, and where possible, first person accounts by individuals who were present during the event. In addition, a number of multimedia-learning objects have been place including sound bites, mini - movies and flash items.

Two major simulations have been developed for students that can be used in a stand-alone delivery mode. The Battle of the Somme and Decision in Normandy provide students with the opportunity to participate in two major historical events of the 20th century. Students take on the role of a World War One general or recreate the events around the Normandy Invasion. Both simulations can be used with, or without, the supporting resource hot sheets.
