The PEI Heritage Fair program is a student-centered, inquiry-based learning opportunity that allows Grades 5 - 9 students to explore a Prince Edward Island or Canadian history topic that interests them. Students are encouraged to think critically about history and its implications, acquire a sound understanding of the discipline, and become more engaged in doing history.
The project format may be a traditional backboard, PowerPoint (or similar), video, audio and images, student-created website, performance or other creative visuals such as diorama.
