Book title: The Canadian Encyclopedia
Author: Historica-Dominion
Bibliographic entry | Historica-Dominion (Ed.). (2012). The Canadian encyclopedia. Retrieved from The Canadian Encyclopedia database. |
Description | Organized by key people and events in Canadian history, the encyclopedia has fact-based articles searchable by keyword. It also recommends articles for browsing and links to a live bilingual blog that highlights different topics within the encyclopedia relating to current events. |
Reaction | Quite text heavy junior students would generally not handle the format. Although filled with references at the bottom of each encylopedic entry, none of them are live links to further information. There is room for improvement in incorporating new media types. |
Recommended age level | Intermediate/Senior |
Subjects/themes | History, people, events, places, Canada |
Curriculum connections | Geography: evaluate differing viewpoints on the benefits and disadvantages of selected resource megaprojects (e.g., James Bay hydro complex, Hibernia offshore oilfields,Athabasca oil sands, diamond mines in the Northwest Territories, Mackenzie Valley oil/gas pipeline) |
Awards | |
Miscellaneous | The junior version is called The Youth Encyclopedia of Canada |
I’m interested in knowing how to access the junior version. Thanks!
