Want to see some cool books and maybe win a prize?
The Ontario Time Machine is a fun website that lets you explore books from Ontario’s past. You can have a virtual look at really old books and find songbooks, recipe books, diaries, almanacs and much more, from 1759 to World War I. Click on the links to see pictures, hear sounds and read explanations. And now, you can win great prizes by bringing a really old book to life!
How, you ask? Explore the books in the Ontario Time Machine at www.ontariotimemachine.ca . Choose the one your class likes best.
Think of a way to bring the book to life. For example, you could: Learn a song from Imrie and Graham’s Musical and Pictorial Galaxy; make a recipe from the Family Recipe Book; write a satire of Canadian politics (or the politics in your class!) based on The Children of Mrs. Dominion . . . or anything else you can think of. Your imagination is the only limit!
Projects will be judged on originality, understanding of the material, presentation skill, and sense of fun. Prizes include class pizza parties and digital cameras.
The contest is open to classes and homeschool groups based in Ontario and studying the Grade 7 or 8 Ontario history curriculum. Contest submissions must be done by a teacher or homeschool instructor.
Submit your project by November 30, 2008. Contest details are available at www.ontariotimemachine.ca/contest .
Good luck and have fun!
