High School Teacher Version: Canada: A Proud Past and Promising Future
This course has everything you and your students will need to make the semester a success! These are proven resources (developed over many years) that will help students understand the human experience of our history.
Through the decades there have been significant political, social and economic changes in Canada. This course will explore the harsh realities of war, Canada’s periods of prosperity and hardships, and the complexities of living in a multi-cultural society. By analyzing these events we will understand that history is not simply a series of events that once happened, but is the continual unfolding of God’s plan which impacts each of our lives in countless ways. Through these fundamental understandings students will gain greater critical thinking skills which will help in interpreting present day events with significant depth of thought. “For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you and understanding will guide you” (Proverbs 2:10-11).
