Library and Archives of Canada Collections As Resources for Classroom Learning.
Abstract
This article promotes the on-line use of primary documents from Library and Archives of Canada (LAC) collections by high school students conducting historical inquiry into a major historic event in Canada's past. It outlines a unit of seven history lessons that the author wrote for the 'Learning Centre' at www.collectionscanada.ca/education/index-e.html, a website recently created by LAC. The unit: 'Canada and the Cold War: The Gouzenko Affair' offers a variety of student-centered, skill-oriented teaching/learning strategies with supporting on-line resources. A major criterion for these educational resources is that they fit into the official curricula of each province and territory in Canada.Downloads
