Project: Music

Hello, my name is Lena and my partners name is Kalina. Music makes our lives complete, that is what the Doukhobors say, without music our lives would be dull, we love music it will always lighten your mood. We went to the Doukhobor museum and took some very nice pictures, after, we intervewied some grandparents of Doukhobor herritige. Music is fabulous. We met with some film editors and documentry editdors. We made a very awesome story board. We are now working to match the films with the pictures.

Doukhobour's Food

Our experience learning about the complex culture of the Doukhobors was interesting because there food is delicious and unique! Doukhobor food such as Borscht has been spread thoughour the Kootneys and other places.

What We Think We Know

We think we know that Doukhobors were Russians and put a big influence on the community. We also heard that they set their houses on fire because it was rebelion against the Government. They were a poor soceity at the time. They lived in villages scattered all across the Kootneys. We would like to learn how they influenced our community to make us remember them to this day.

What we know

we know that doukhobors are russians that cook and eat lots of yummy food and if they can they cook enough food for a LOT of people, and they have contributed that food to our area. some doukhobors burned their houses down. there are also so many people who are doukhobors or are new generations of doukhobors so they have to each russian in the schools. the doukhobor women plowed the fields and cooked and cleaned and the men hunted and stuff. we would like to know excactly what kind of food they made.

Our First Class

Our Grade 7 class has now begun the Digital Heritage Connect Project.

Our first class was spent understanding our task:
"You are mini-documentary filmmakers. Your mission is to investigate the Doukhobor Culture, and to learn more about its values, traditions, and features based on an inquiry question your team generates. The final project is a 60-second clip with a core message based on your question and research."

Below is a photo collage of some of our class members. We hope to blog with other classes in the near future!

Welcome!

Mt. Sentinel grade 7 students will be using this blog to post information, progress, and learning for their Digital Heritage Connect Project.
