Avis sur le produitWow Canada! Ser.: That's Very Canadian! : An Exceptionally Interesting Report about All Things Canadian by Vivien Bowers (2004, Trade Paperback)

Very Informative!

This book is so informative - has lots of information on Canada, almost to the point of over-saturation. Luckily, the language used is pretty easy to digest - written as a mock-report by a student (Rachel) for her class assignment, it has lots of clever, funny little comments alongside the presentations of factual information - some from the "author" herself, others from her "long suffering older brother", and still others from various characters in the text. The book covers information on the Canadian flag, currency, national anthem, provinces, government, geography, food, nature/animals, etc. It's not something that you would read aloud to students in its entirety, but I've found that it is a very good resource that allows me to pick and choose small sections to present to my class, and the illustrations are numerous (most great, but sometimes overkill). This book retails for around $20 but with eBay I was able to get a brand new copy for half that - awesome! I recommend this book because it is chock-full of information and pleasantly presented in book-form. Just remember it is not presented as high academia, but very informally and entertainingly as though from a middle school student. Enjoy!Lire l'avis complet...
