Canadian Immigration Lapbook and Booklist

I have created Canadian Immigration Lapbook Pieces that are available for you to download and use. They use the book Coming to Canada by Susan Hughes as a guide for discovering Immigration in Canada. These pieces are part of the Creative Commons and I am happy to share them with you.

There are many aspects of Canadian Immigration that you may want to cover by reading stories of our Canadian Immigrants. I hope that this list will inspire you to read more about immigration in our past and present!

Chronological World History integrating Canadian History

I thought that for those doing a World History Program and wanting to integrate Canadian History this would be helpful.

As history spreads over time frames, you may want to check to be sure that this is how you would want to include the events. Some of it is subjective as events overlap. This list goes to the end of the 1990's.

Canadian History Booklist - Acadians and Louisbourg

Canadian History during the exile of the Acadians and the Battle of Louisbourg is a time in Canadian History when we have risen to high heights, and stooped to some of the lowest lows... It is a great time to discover with your children and help them to understand that history is not always pretty. It can be very difficult! I hope that this booklist helps you to explore!!
