Think Like a Historian: The Battle of Vimy Ridge

To complete these worksheets, students may want to watch the videos more than once. Turning on the subtitles can help second language learners understand the video. Watch the videos as a class at least twice before beginning the worksheets.

Visit thinklikeahistorian.ca to view all of the videos in the series and download additional free, bilingual educational resources. We hope this series will help you teach students how to analyze primary sources.
