Attention All Writers: Write Your Own Canadian History Stories

Canada needs more history writers who want to tell a good story as well as convey true historical facts. If you are up for the challenge, then start researching and writing!

When you finish your history story, send it to me (with a list of your sources) and I will post it on this site so that other people can read it.

Canadian History Stories

Canadian history is filled with the kind of nail-biting stories that can keep you up all night reading. Most textbooks do a great job of summarizing facts, but they are not in the business of creating gripping stories.

I started writing Canadian History stories so that I could take my students beyond the textbook summaries. I wanted to create stories that were filled with historical facts, yet still contained developed characters and complex plots. My goal was to create educational stories could bring history to life for my students.
