PROJECT EVALUATION
Because Heritage Fairs are non-competitive in nature we encourage you to ensure that participation in the Fairs program is a fun, educational experience for all students who take part and that the focus of your event is the opportunity to "share their stories" with the local community. 
 

Evaluation should be an integral part of the learning process for every student as he/she participates in the development of a Heritage Fair project in the classroom. To make this a meaningful experience for students the Fairs programs should be integrated into the regular classroom program and evaluated by the classroom teacher in the same way that other classroom experiences are evaluated. Student achievement and excellence should be recognized.

Sites wishing to send delegates to the Provincial Fair must also evaluate projects and students to determine which students would benefit most from the experience and be great ambassadors for their Regional Fairs. For this reason it is important that each site has a fair and impartial means of evaluating the projects that are shared at their Regional Fair.

THE FIRST CHINESE CITIZENS
IN CANADA
by
Helen Shen

In this project, I wanted to learn more about my Canadian ancestry and Chinese heritage. I had five key questions I wanted to find answers to: Why did they decide to come to Canada? What was life like for them? How did the Canadian Pacific Railway affect them? How did the Canadians treat them? How have immigrants contributed to Canada's multiculturalism and diversity? I made a board, models, reports and a movie. My movie is based on a story I wrote about a girl who has just come to Canada and reunited with her father, but unfortunately, due to head tax amd ship fares, her mother and little brother are still in China. In the movie, the girl is writing a letter to them, telling them all about her new life in Canada. She is determined to reunite all of their family in Canada. In the end she does, just two years before the Chinese Exclusion Act.

This project means a lot to me. I interviewed many family members as my main research.  I would like to give my greatest thanks to my great-grandfather, who helped me and encouraged me the whole time, even though he no longer here with me. He is my inspiration.
