How the Chinese Created Canada

Although Chinese culture and communities are important parts of the Canadian mosaic, Chinese people’s contributions to Canada’s history are sometimes overlooked. How the Chinese Created Canada makes it easy to include stories about influential Chinese immigrants and their descendants in the classroom. Each chapter focuses on an important aspect of Canadian history and introduces key individuals to ground descriptions of larger historical events. The text and vocabulary level make this a good introduction for readers interested in non-fiction, and the style of text would allow select excerpts to be used separately.
