Ontario Teachers' Manuals: History Part 21

=1620=

A useful chart which shows the growth of Canada is to be found in Taylor's _Cardinal Facts of Canadian History_, reproduced in Duncan's _The Canadian People_. An Ill.u.s.trated Chart of Canadian History is published by the United Editors Company, of Toronto.

NOTE-BOOKS AND CLa.s.s EXERCISES

In the Fourth Form, pupils should copy into a notebook the black-board work--topical outlines, time chart, etc., as a basis for review and for cla.s.s exercises in composition. Such a topical summary, the joint work of teacher and cla.s.s, is the best means of review for examination purposes, when one is held.

Pupils may occasionally be asked to make from the text-book, without preceding cla.s.s work, a topical a.n.a.lysis either of a subject which is treated consecutively in the book, such as the War of 1812-14, or of a subject that requires the pupil to collect his material from various parts of the book, or even from several books. In the latter case the teacher should direct the pupil to the proper sources.
