In the Immigration Fair’s fourth consecutive year, participants are once again challenged to create interesting and innovative presentations.
Aimed to be more personal than a textbook or a website, students had to analyze one cultural group living in Canada. Grade 10s focused on listening to, recording, and telling the stories of real people. Through interviews and meticulous research, participants fathomed many patterns of immigration.
Perhaps the most valuable experience for many, students had to step out of their comfort zones and talk to real people; asking personal questions and learning about a person’s history. A milestone for young learners, the project illuminated many on how to conduct a proper interview.
After his presentation, Ezaan Mangalji divulges his most valuable experience.
“The most valuable experience of this immigration project was really learning and understanding the hardships that people have gone through to reach a better life.”
