WEAVER CURRICULUM CANADIAN SUPPLEMENT
INFORMATION

If you are a Canadian using The Weaver Curriculum unit study program, you need these Supplements to provide the Canadian content missing from that American product.

Canadian Supplements as part of a Social Studies Curriculum

If not, you can use these Supplements as part of your Canadian Social Studies curriculum because they contain sizeable portions of Canadian historical content. There is also lots of useful non-historical Canadian information, such as extensive Recommended Reading lists and Resource Pages, etc. Volumes II (10 + 84 dedicated lessons) and III (35 dedicated lessons) are especially well suited as independent Canadian history products, as they can easily take several months each to complete!

Would you like to try out The Weaver Curriculum style inexpensively? With these Canadian Supplements you can have Weaver-styled Social Studies, Science and Language Arts objectives and activities from a Canadian perspective! (Note: these are not complete Weaver Volumes.)

Why is there a Canadian Supplement for the Weaver Curriculum?

Volume I's introductory letter (link below) will briefly explain how I came to write the Canadian Supplements and why I am re-introducing them to the market now. You can also read the entire story in my Home School Introduction and in my biography. If you need more information about any of the Supplements than can be found on this website, please send me a request by e-mail or contact form.

    5. This is a PDF file.Recommended Reading lists (this is a sample of a first page)
    6. Canadian versions of objectives, activities and resources
      • This is the whole reason for the Canadian Supplements!
      • As I worked through the first Volume as I taught my own children, I discovered that I needed to research and write down a lot of Canadian information for my lessons.
      • I typed Canadianized versions of every objective and activity that mentioned anything American (even down to single words, like "Eskimo" instead of "Inuit").
      • As I got deeper and deeper into the Volume I saw the need for a Canadian Supplement so that other moms wouldn't have to spend so much time making their own lesson plans!
    7. Resource Sections
      • Where the original Weaver volume contains information that is specific to the United States, I prepared a new document to provide parallel Canadian information This is a PDF file.(e.g. Canada's national anthem)
      • Sometimes this information is a chart This is a PDF file.(e.g. capital cities)
        • that you can copy and give to students for memory and/or copy work
      • Many times the information is in the form of maps This is a PDF file.(e.g. original route to Red River Colony) that you can copy and have students copy, trace or colour
    8. Completely Canadian Chapters that I had to write and fit into the Weaver Volume format and schedule, using its subject matter as a base. (In the case of Volume I, chapter 16, I actually organized the provided information into objectives and then added more.)

      • Volume II--chapters 7 (native peoples) and 10 (Canada's development to 1867)

The Weaver Curriculum gave me my start in home school product development. When I saw that a homeschool mom could produce and market such material, I was hooked! When I saw a need (Canadian content), I knew I had found my niche!
