Canadian Studies for Elementary and Junior High School Teachers. A Syllabus and Resource Guide.
State Univ., of New York, Plattsburgh. Coll. at Plattsburgh. Center for the Study of Canada.; New York State Education Dept., Albany. Bureau of Curriculum Development.
Developed to promote greater awareness and understanding of Canada by American students and teachers, this interdisciplinary curriculum guide includes not only social studies, but also activities dealing with mathematics, science, environmental studies, English, art, and music. The book is divided into five modules, each giving a different perspective--geographic, economic, historical, social, and political. Each module is structured around key concepts, skills and attitudes, teacher notes, focus questions, coded activities, and discussion questions. Following each module is a series of relevant maps and illustrations, such as cartoons and graphs, all pertinent readings and a bibliography. All units could be taught independently or incorporated into other courses of study. The ethnic and linguistic diversity of Canada is emphasized throughout the curriculum. Though American-Canadian cooperation is included throughout the units, the uniqueness of Canada is also stressed. (CBC)
