I have been looking for a good Canadian history book for a while, and I think I have found a good one to use during elementary. However, as I’ve been reading it, I’ve realized it isn’t entirely chronological but covers the history of Ontario and Quebec, then jumps back to talk about the indians, explorers, and then about the fur trade, etc.
So how do I use it? I don’t want to lose the flow of the book, bug I want it to be more chronological. I also want to fit it alongside a big of US history and world history.
So should we read the chapters out of order so it is chronological? It is a great book otherwise…
Hello Suzukimom, I hope that you are feeling a bit better! My first thought would be yes, read it out of order. I have done that with some of our history read alouds particularly a spine. HTH
Read out of order! By the way, that is a great find you made; thank you for sharing it. Please feel free to share your rearranged reading order 🙂
I don’t know if you use a wall timeline or a book of centuries – maybe this would help it to flow and/or at the very least it would provide a visual of the events in chronological order for your kids. Or, even if you already use a Book of Centuries, perhaps you make a separate little book or wall timeline just for use with this book? HTH .
Suzukimom – not sure if I missed it…what’s the book title and what ages are you thinking it’s most suited to?
Doing ok, may be out of hospital tomorrow.
The book, like most Canadian histories, is called “The Story of Canada” but as I’ve heard of at least 5 books with that name, you need more info. Going by memory it is by E.L. Marsh. It is on archive.org in PDF, and it creates a pretty good kindle version. I am going to use it for Canadian history in AO years 2-5 however it matches. Was written in early 1900’s (1905 has been mentioned…) I’ll have to figure out the dates for everything. yes, there is the option to just track in our timeline, etc…
