Hi,

I'm a Canadian living in the United States with my American husband. We have no problem with the high emphasis of American history, but would love for the kids to have the Canadian history go alongside it.

We are in Year 2, Unit 2, right now, so I need to begin figuring out what I'm going to do for Units 3 and 4 soon. We already own "The Story of Canada" by Janet Lunn. I guess I'm wondering, before I go to the work of trying to plan out the reading of that book with each week, whether someone else has already done that? Or, if there's a better/different book that someone has already made the plan of when to use with the TOG week plans? (I know that someone had done that for A Child's History of the World by A.V. Hillyer.)

Any other thoughts or advice are also welcome!

Candace

This is an old thread I realize, but just in case someone else has this question. There is a free book available online called Our Empire Story at...

http://www.mainlesson.com/disp...&story=_contents]Our Empire Story[/URL]

It's pretty well written and there are some rather exciting parts - it includes poetry etc. from the period, and I've read through the Canadian parts (it's all about the British empire, including Australia etc) with my son

I also don't mind the American history in TOG - we should know about our neighbours to the south, and the history's downright exciting to boot!
