This is a New Brunswick Innovative Learning Fund grant project by Ms. Lewell’s Modern History 112 class at Saint John High School.
Students will be responsible for researching in assigned groups the stories of two local soldiers killed in the Great War. Where did they live? Where were they born? What did they look like? How were they killed?
Project rationale: to bring a local flavour to the NB Modern History 11 curriculum. This project was inspired by Blake Seward’s Lest We Forget project.
Projects will be posted here, at http://sjhsremembers.ca/ for public viewing. They will act as a virtual memorial to these soldiers – former students of Saint John High School themselves – who gave their lives in the Great War.
