This teacher's guide has been designed for use with the 2001 edition of Canadian Agriculture at a Glance. It focuses on secondary school curricula in the following subject areas: family studies/home economics; geography, history and science.
As education is provincially mandated, the curriculum connections in the lessons are representative of the curricula across Canada. Teachers in individual provinces will be able to see the connections to the curriculum specific to their province.
Each lesson includes an associated free article, downloadable in PDF format.
Educators can order the entire print publication at a special discount. It may already be available at your library.
Teachers can use this resource in many ways
- By choosing individual activities to use with their students
- By putting students into co-operative groups to work through individual activities, then teach them to the rest of the class
- By dividing the class into co-operative groups by chapter, and covering the entire book in that fashion.
- By using E-STAT to have students do data analysis, graphing and mapping activities using the same data as in the book for specific geographic areas of local interest.
