The debate edition — instead of just facts, students dig into the controversy behind the 1964 "Great Canadian Flag Debate." They watch a detailed video, sequence historical events, learn debate-level vocabulary (controversial, heritage, public opinion, diversity), react to four opinionated "social media style" comments about the flag change, and finish by designing and presenting their own flag in groups.
