Overview.

There are two storylines to be explored:

The Dairy and the Mannequin focuses on discovering the identity of an actual Canadian WWI soldier and the creation of a small exhibit to tell his story.

The Windmill and the Teenaged Nazi  focuses on discovering the thematic and historical connections between two WWII related artefacts.

The two story lines involve a series of videos and video-based questions.  At the end of each video, students are asked a question based on the content of the video and must select one of four artefacts that represent the best answer. If correct, they can move onto the next segment; if they guess incorrectly they have to try again.
