Families in B.C. History
This gallery highlights individuals, their family relationships and ancestors. It uses an historic British Columbia family to present curriculum themes of self, family and community. The gallery contains a downloadable family tree for students to use to create their own family tree.
Classroom Activities
- Students make puppets of the Crease family members and retell stories of the kind of work the Crease family did.
- Make your own Family Tree - download and print this Family Tree Template for students to make their own family tree (Note: the image is sideways so it will easily print on a letter size piece of paper from your web browser).
- Students create a graph recording how many people there were in the Crease family, and compare this information with a graph of their own family
