of this unit topics covered are Canada's First People, The Vikings, Cabot and Cartier, The
Pirate Explorers, Champlain, New France, The English, The Fur Trade and The Fight for

readings for each level including poetry, short stories, novels, picture books, and video.

Canadian History and Literature Curriculum
We are in the process of developing four units on Canadian History. The units will be nine
weeks in length and can be combined into a full-year history and literature curriculum. The
literature component complements the history. The intent is to study and learn about
literature and is therefore not limited to historical fiction which can sometimes overshadow
the literary elements.
