The War of 1812 Timeline Activity Kit is perfect for teachers and educators who are teaching on topics regarding Canadian history. It uses a variety of visualization tools to help learners memorize dates, figures, and important events from the War of 1812 and the decades leading up to it. These visualization tools include sketches, drawings, and pictures of artifacts that were pertinent to that time period. The activity kit also includes a teacher’s guide that provides a list of questions for students and a brief historical overview of the War of 1812.
This activity kit captures the war’s various significant events and moments using flash cards, post cards, and excerpts of historic texts. The kit contains over 130 different cards–each card contains a piece of information on an event or figure that impacted the War of 1812. These cards are divided into several different categories for students to explore, such as: weather during the war, geography of the battles, art and propaganda, exceptional quotes, battles on the water, and symbols from the war.
