Finally, a fresh and progressive textbook to revive your Canadian History class! Canadian Sources: Investigated is an indispensable resource of Canadian primary and secondary sources spanning the historical period 1914 to the present. Using a range of representational and visually rich source material, students can immerse themselves in the history and events of the time while gaining important experience in interpreting and evaluating historical evidence. Each chapter addresses important topics—women's political rights in the 20s, the October Crisis, controversy surrounding Billy Bishop, the internment of Japanese Canadians, and the Quebec Referendum—that will challenge your students and renew their interest in their country's history.

• What Would You Do? Students attempt to put themselves in another’s shoes and determine what other decisions might have been made.
• You Be the Judge! Students are asked to make their own conclusions, using evidence from a variety of points of view.
• Reality Check Students are asked to challenge a myth or preconceived ideas about history, by examining further evidence.
• Through Their Eyes: Examining A Generation’s Thinking Looks at evidence and sources from multiple perspectives.

Other learning tools include:

• Words to Know Important key terms listed at the beginning of each section and fully defined in a glossary.
• Before Reading, During Reading, and After Reading Explicitly encourage the development and practice of critical literacy strategies by helping students activate prior knowledge about a topic, keeping them focused while reading the sources.
