Classroom Connection -  www.classroom connection.ca -  is offering a teaching program examining the causes and events of the War of 1812 and how it affected Ontario.  The program is sponsored by the Ontario Heritage Trust and the Toronto Star.  The program includes a teacher resource in pdf format and 20 copies of the student workbook, and is free to the first 1,000 teachers that sign up.

The content may be Toronto-centric, but well worth looking at, if you're teaching Grade 7&8.
