Canada 1812 - Forged in Fire
- This website features film clips, informational articles, images, and an
incredibly detailed (over 100 pages) graphic novel all about the War
of 1812 and the inspiring people who took part in it.
- This website really pays attention to detail and I used to multiple times
when I covered the War of 1812 with my Grade 11 students. We
even used the graphic novel as inspiration to create our own to use to
teach the younger grades about what we learned!
