Description
Each Teaching with Dear Canada includes an overview of teaching social studies through historical fiction, then provides a summary for each book, themes for classroom discussion, cross-curricular activities, ready-to-use reproducibles and more.
This perfect classroom tool uses four titles in the Dear Canada series - Alone in an Untamed Land, A Ribbon of Shining Steel, Brothers Far from Home, and Whispers of War - to develop children's understanding of historical concepts and build useful Social Studies and Language Arts skills.
