This article on Women's Army Corps explains how women became to be a
part of the war effort where they could do anything except actually fight in the
war. It states how women would relieve men of their army positions so they
could go to nonmilitant roles that still assist in the war effort. This article was
written by the Virtual Museum of Canada which is a website which displays all
Canadian exhibits and history. This resource is a secondary source since it was
information gathered from the event and wasn't written in the time period of
the event. The article is unbiased since it doesn't show feelings towards the
topic that effect what is being written. The title shows approval towards the
topic since it says "Canada's Remembrance" which shows it's important
enough that Canada should acknowledge and remember this. The description
of people in this article is positive since its showing the empowerment of
women and is about the Women's Army Corps. This source is useful to my
project since it helps me state how women became more powerful in response
to World War Two and provides me with information for my subtopic on
women in the war effort.

This Canadian Encyclopedia article shows how the British Commonwealth Air
Training came to be as well it shows the statistics on how many people were in
the flight schools and important dates regarding this topic. It shows that since
the Canadian government invested into this plan and made it their top priority
it caused the allies' air force to become more developed than the enemies
which assists them in the Second World War. The article on British
Commonwealth Air Training plan is a secondary resource. The author, Norman
Hiller is a history professor and international affairs at Carleton University.
This article is slightly biased since the title shows expression of positivity
towards the topic, British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The descriptions
of places or events are positive since they said the allied air forces were
superior in world war two. The statistic numbers have been rounded up
approximately and are not exaggerated. This source is very credible since one
of the authors is a Canadian professor and is written at an academic level that
students can understand. This resource was very useful towards my website
since it shows one of the largest comebacks to World War Two, which was how
the flight schools helped the Canadians contribute to ending the war.

This was a video that shows how the allied countries contributed to creating
items for World War Two like airplanes, dynamite, and many more things. It
displays that communities would donate tin cans, cooking fat, etc. to contribute

for the things needed. This source is a tertiary source since it's a collection of
information from secondary sources. This source may not be as valuable since
it wasn't published by an educational company or professor. The description of
people in this is neutral which shows that this video isn't biased. The academic
level of this video is very easy since it's meant to inform people, like teenagers.
This source was useful for my website since it gives a visual representation on
what salvage drives were actually like during World War Two. This source also

http://www.creatingcanada.ca/demo/StudentsEd/Ch_9.html
This source is a student edition of Creating Canada which is a history
textbook from 1914 to the present day. In the section "How Did Canadians at
Home Respond to the War?'' it goes over every subtopic on my website like
how women in Canada have become a part of the workforce, how flight
schools took place in Canada, and how the country in general responded to
World War Two. This resource is a tertiary source since its an online version
of the history textbook. The McGraw-Hill Ryerson published this textbook so
this is a reliable source since it's used in Canadian education in schools. The
textbook is slightly biased since it is written from a Canadian perspective; all
the Canadians that are being talked about are mentioned in a positive way. The
academic level of this source is educational since it is used to teach high school
sophomores. This source was useful to provide information on each topic of
how Canadians responded to the Second World War. It provided me with

statistics as well.

This article on salvage drives displays why there were salvage drives ( to
provide materials for World War Two) and explains what each material was
used for. It also states the benefits of salvage drives for the communities in
Canada like, raising money for the war effort and to save raw material. In this
article, the author of Wyatt Heritage is credible since its an educational
resource for Prince Edward Island. This article is a secondary resource since it
was information found and written. This article is unbiased since its title,
descriptions of events, places, and facts are neutral. There is no prejudice held
between anything mentioned in the article. The academic level is very low
since it's an educational source that could also be used for children in
elementary school. This source was practical for me to use in my website since
it gives examples of how Canadian communities responded to the war and how
the nation provided Canada with resources.

This video explains what the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan is and
why it was so beneficial for Canadians. It also shows what the flight schools
did look like and the general people who attended them. This source is a

tertiary source since it uses primary source information like the photos, and
secondary source information which is the information, plus this video wasn't
created during the time period so it wouldn't be a primary source. This source
isn't very reliable though because there is limited knowledge given on the
person who created the video. This video is also slightly biased since they
indicated that this was the biggest contribution to helping the allies win. Also
there was a lot of positive expression towards the events and people in this
video. The academic level of of this video is relatively easy since it just stated
a few facts to educate the viewers. This source was very beneficial for my
website since it helps people understand what the British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan was.

http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/historical-sheets/women
This source shows the roles of women changing tremendously in World War
Two. Women started to work for other jobs and the war effort. This article
displays the amount of women in women organizations. This source is a
secondary source since it's an article reporting on a study's findings.This is a
very credible source since this article has been provided by the government of
Canada. Another reason why this is a credible source is that it's only slightly
biased since they don't express any negativeness towards women in society
changing. But, they are positive towards women in the article like, ''Canadian
women enthusiastically embraced their new roles and responsibilities.'' Yet the
title doesn't show bias since it doesn't express approval or refusal and the

numbers stated in the writing have been rounded up. This source is very
academic and professional since it has been approved by the government of
Canada. This article has benefitted my website by providing statistics on
women in the war effort and facts about how women have changed in society
throughout world war two.

This article explains the contributions of women in the Second World War. It
talks about women taking on jobs that the men at war have left behind and
them joining to help the Canadian war effort. Canadian Women and the Second
World War article is a secondary resource since it's an article that summarizes
the topic. The National Film Board of Canada has published this article so it's a
very credible source. The article isn't biased, it's neutral. The reason why I
believe so is since the title doesn't express condemnation or excitement. The
description of the events that happened and people is also neutral. The numbers
