In addition to various print materials, the bibliography lists videos, CD-ROMs, globes, maps, and kits. This multi-resource approach provides students with opportunities to interact with a wide range of current materials to suit varied learning styles. The bibliography includes several picture books or books with a significant visual focus. Picture books often present issues or ideas in brief, dramatic text and use visuals that promote discussion about issues and ideas. It is important that human resources be accessed as well.
Every community has capable people who can enrich educational experiences.
Local and provincial personnel include storytellers, historians, Elders, politicians, cultural association members, senior citizens, and community leaders. To assist schools in accessing human resources, lists of organizations have been included in the bibliography. When selecting resources, the following suggestions may be helpful. Selection should be based on the objectives of the curriculum, students' interests and abilities, students' prior knowledge and experience, and the interests or needs of the community. Materials should be chosen in accordance with the school division's materials selection policy.
