Artifacts, Archives, and Acquisition: French and the Royal BC Museum
Going on traditional fieldtrips to downtown Victoria isn't the only for students to experience the Royal BC Museum. Participants will be introduced to and explore digital resources, out of the box field trips or workshops, and ready made lessons available on the new and improved Learning Portal. This session will focus specifically on newly translated or created French resources, and how to integrate language and content. Participants will be led through a sample lesson, and will leave with resources, and ready to use classroom activities appropriate for the grade 4-8 early or late French Immersion classroom.

Liz Crocker
Liz joined the Learning Team at the Royal BC Museum in 2016 after more than 25 years of working in education, interpretation and heritage with parks, historic sites and museums in British Columbia. At the museum she manages the content for the Learning Portal and has a focus on distance learning, natural history and archives.
In 2021, Liz gathered French teachers from across the province to identify and develop museum resources for BC French teachers. The project continues and in 2022 the museum was able to publish more than twenty new French resources for French teachers related to the nature and culture of British Columbia.
