Great list, Melissa! I LOVE Canada: A People's History! I even have the book... Here is another link for you, it is a game that challenges you to answer all the Canadian Prime Ministers. Just type the last name into the box at the top, and if it is right, with the correct spelling, it automatically inserts it into the correct years!http://www.sporcle.com/games/canadian_prime_ministers.php. I must admit though, it makes me feel somewhat incompetent in my field sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI second Canada: A People's History!
ReplyDeleteI really like all the links you have put up. I explored the second link and the games it has, it is really informative. Thanks for all the links. I need to know more about our history.
