This interview is part of a special series of the Teaching Canada's History podcast where we spoke with the finalists for the 2019 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Students in Robert Bell’s 5/6 class researched the Spanish Influenza through the records of a young girl named Hazel who died of the disease in 1918. Hazel attended the same school as the students in Bell’s class. The project culminated in a student-curated exhibit at the Dundas Museum that focused on Hazel’s life and the impact of the Spanish Influenza on their community.
