Need an engaging, meaningful resource for Orange Shirt Day? This intermediate / middle or highschool resource will help students understand the impacts of residential schools in Canada. Students will research a residential school, learning its name, location and dates it was open. Students will complete reflection questions and contribute to a class display board to honour the children who attended these schools.
