Activities Overview Here you will find two activities and lesson plans for use with the Nursing History Digitization Project. These activities focus on using primary sources as well as developing a knowledge of the history of nursing education in Nova Scotia. Although the activities are set up for classroom use, individuals may find it interesting to try these activities on their own.
Primary sources provide students with an
opportunity to develop higher thinking skills by extracting and interpreting information.
The Nursing History Digitization Project
provides a number of photographs and documents from nursing schools in Nova Scotia,
which give students an excellent opportunity to use primary sources, while
also learning Web research skills. Activity One: Nursing Education Quiz In this
activity students are given a set of
questions about the history of Nursing Education in Nova Scotia.
The questions
can be answered using the information provided throughout the Nursing
History Digitization Project website. Both a
lesson plan and an
answer sheet are provided for
teachers. Activity Two: Using Primary Sources to Interpret the Past In this activity students will select one of the nursing schools highlighted in the Nursing History Digitization Project website. Using the primary source materials provided from that school, students will produce a piece of writing which depicts a day in the life of a student nurse in Nova Scotia. A lesson plan is provided for teachers.
