This Wednesday will be civilian dress. Cadets will be working on their static displays (see below), and watching a movie.

Static Displays

From FSgt Filion:

Reminder by this Wednesday all static display plans have to be complete and handed in to FSgt Filion. 

We will have dedicated time for you to work on your static displays physical board. We ask that you bring any materials you may need to be able to work on your project : paint, markers, glue, tape, scissors, materials to build any models and anything else that sparks your creativity. Please talk within your group to properly determine which cadets are responsible to bring what.

If you’re not sure who is in your group, please contact FSgt Filion via Teams or email: sfilion1904007@cdt.cadets.gc.ca.

Here is the guide to help you complete your static display : 

1. Plan – Create a document that holds : 
   1- Your topic and chosen title
   2- Your main points. (What will your static display consist of? What are you talking about?)       
   3- Text for each point (Senior Cadets will be checking for Grammar, authenticity, and factual information.)
   4- Pictures and any models or props you might need to create or bring (Are you going to have pictures? What pictures? Are you going to make a model? Out of what? What materials do you need?)
2. Preparation – You should have your titles, text, and pictures printed out, ready to start gluing it to your board. You should have your models and/or props ready to create, build if needed.
3. Then this Wednesday: You will assemble it – Put together all your pictures, writing, etc. on the board. Create your models or other creations, add colour, and whatever else sparks your creativity. Finish creating your static display to have a final product to hand in on the 22 of May.

Good luck, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
