English Language Arts and Social Sciences Bibliography

An English Language Arts and Social Sciences Bibliography for High School Students and Teachers: This is a comprehensive list of titles that will be added to and updated regularly. It was created by Judith Elson, Jens Holm, Nadine Maglia, and Rosemary Tucci, four Riverside School Board teachers from Centennial Regional High School, Greenfield Park who spent many hours doing what they loved to do - haunting libraries, book stores and web sites and reading books. The importance of this site lies in the detailed descriptions they wrote for each text.
This site was facilitated by Pat Machin, Research Consultant, and Diana Kinach, Education Specialist, Riverside School Board. It was funded by a MELS (Québec Ministry of Education, Leisure and Sport) Professional Development grant and an ELA Site-based grant (Abigail Anderson - MELS DGFJ)





The Black Community
in the History of Québec and Canada

Blacks have continued to make a positive impact on Canadian society though largely
missing from popular texts and public documents. This document focuses on their contribution.
The material is directly compatible with the History of Québec and Canada program
(History 414). Many of the items included can also serve as valuable
content in a variety of subject areas and grade levels.
