Canadian Heritage Album
Objectives:
Your task is to gather a variety of images, artwork, photographs, symbols, songs, poems and
headlines that will capture the defining moments during several time periods.
After your research is complete, you will use the information to create a Heritage Album. You
are encouraged to use an online Storyboard programme such as Photostory or Comic Life.
Remember that images must be high quality to look good in these software programmes.
