The intention of this bibliography is to assist educators in choosing a variety of appropriate resources to meet the needs of the Grade 6 Social Studies Curriculum, Canada and Its Atlantic Neighbours . The items listed are centred around the philosophy of resource-based learning in which the curriculum is supported by a variety of resources rather than a single textbook. The resources in this bibliography include videos, films, filmstrips, wall charts, maps, computer software and various print resources. This multi-media approach provides students with opportunities to interact with a wide range of current materials in a variety of learning situations. It is important that human resources be accessed as well.
Every community has capable people who can enrich educational experiences.
The resources in this bibliography are recommended for support of the Grade 6 Social Studies Curriculum. However, it remains the responsibility of individual schools to preview and select materials that best meet the needs of that particular school and the community. Saskatchewan Education has distributed copies of these publications to schools and additional copies can be obtained from the Book Bureau. The bibliography should be cross-referenced with the school resource centre catalogue in order to identify suitable resources already present in the school library collection. Materials in the present collection should be assessed based on the needs of the curriculum, the community, the students and teachers.
