Introductory Note to Teachers

This Web site explores the raid on Dieppe through photographs and films selected from the holdings of the National Archives of Canada and proposes classroom activities based on these archival sources.

The proposed activities are intended for students at the intermediate level (grades 6 to 8/secondary I and II) and secondary level (grades 9 to 12/secondary III, IV and V). The activities include suggestions for oral presentations and compositions to help students better understand this historic event.

In addition, an introduction to the concept of primary and secondary sources is presented and an evaluation grid is included.
