The annotated bibliography evaluates over 500 available textbooks, resource books, reference books, and other printed materials for teaching Canadian studies in elementary and secondary schools in Canada. The objective is to provide guidelines to help teachers select materials most appropriate to their teaching style and the needs of their students. Eight sections cover the following topics: Canadian history, geography, government and politics, economics, consumer education, law, social studies, and social issues. Materials for grades 1-5 are presented in the social studies section; the other materials are appropriate for grades 6-13. The majority of the entries were published by Canadian publishers since 1970, though there are a few exceptions. Each section is arranged alphabetically by title and includes bibliographic information such as author; publisher; date; number of pages; size in centimeters; kind and rating of illustrations; presence of an index, notes, bibliography, or glossary; use of the metric system; type of cover; price as of April 1979; and notation of accessory products. The lengthy, thoughtful annotations offer a description and assessment of each book, considering content, organization, approach, physical features, appropriate use, grade level, and reading level. A title index and a subject and grade level index conclude the book. (CK)
