Narrating a Nation
Canadian History Pre-Confederation, First Edition
by Raymond Blake, et al
The chronological approach allows students to makes sense of our history, and grounds their knowledge of the past in a clear political context. The focus on key events allows readers to appreciate the social, economic, and ideological complexities and develop a sense of linkage and causality that is at the bedrock of historical understanding.
Greenwood blends fiction and fact to provide the reader with
a full picture of mid-nineteenth-century pioneer life. A narrative
begins each section and is followed by information about the
work the fictitious Robertson family members are engaged in and
a project for the reader to try. The illustrations are clear
and useful.
