Perspectives of WWIIIn April of 2018, the Humanities 10 Performance Learning Program started a unit on World War Two. Earlier in the year, they had extensively studied WWI, so this was a natural transition. The only hard part of the transition was the change of how to look at the project and material, to change our perspective. That's the whole point of this unit. Perspective. How did different countries see the war, how did they react, and how did it affect them. They also decided to generously share their research and learning through a website, so that grade 10 classes in the future could understand the many perspectives of WWII without having to do as much as this class did.

Who Are We?
We are a group of leaners from North Vancouver, what makes us different from most classes is that we are part of PLP, the Performance Learning Program. PLP is a one-to-one iPad program that uses iPads, technology and Project Based Learning (PBL), to develop better students and better people. This class has been together the longest of any PLP class, they started way back in grade 8, and have stayed very similar since. This has created a strong bond between students, making big projects like this possible and impressive.
