Vietnamese Canadian Experiences in BC

Vietnamese Canadian Experiences in BC

Ask students to observe the paintings of BC artist Chrystal Phan. The paintings reflect the artist’s Canadian and Vietnamese cultural influences. Students can draw on their own experiences and imaginations to form responses to the questions. See the “Chrystal Phan Tour of Victoria” in the watch section of this pathway for more about Chrystal, her family and her paintings. (Grades 5, 6 and 10 Language Arts and Social Studies, but can be adapted for other grades.)

Learn from the personal story of Hannah, a young girl who came to Canada as a refugee from Vietnam. (Grades 5, 6 and 10 Language Arts and Social Studies.)
