ABSTRACT: 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)
