Description

The Righting Canada’s Wrongs series is devoted to the exploration of racist and discriminatory government policies and actions against various groups through our history, the fight for acknowledgement and justice and the eventual apologies and restitution of subsequent governments. The award-winning books in this series make a valuable addition to any classroom or library looking for kid-friendly and appealing resources on social justice and equal rights in Canada.

The engaging and curriculum-based lessons in this Resource Guide will help students to further understand some of the important events in Canada's history that helped shape our current multicultural society. Educators will find support for teaching about Canada's past treatment of minorities and how to approach the topic of racism and discrimination. As well, students will learn about the important roles that these groups have played in Canadian society.

The third edition of the Resource Guide has been updated to include the most recent books in the Righting Canada’s Wrongs series: Africville, Anti-Semitism and the MS St. Louis and The LGBT Purge.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

  • A different historical thinking concept is introduced in each lesson.
  • Each of the main lessons are directly linked to books in the series. The Resource Guide also provides additional sections related to each book.
  • Student Blackline Masters are provided for copying.
  • Evaluation rubrics for your assessment of student achievement on each lesson are included.
  • Video links throughout the guide will supplement your lesson and add another dimension to student learning.
