FORMS III AND IV

PRELIMINARY NOTE

Below are the topics and sub-topics of the Course in History for Forms
III and IV.

In dealing with the subject in both Forms, the teacher should keep constantly in mind the chief aims suited to this stage of the pupil’s development. (See pp. 16, 17.) The most vital of these is “to create and foster a liking for historical study.”  The teacher should make use of simple map drawing to illustrate the subject.  This is especially necessary in dealing with the history of Canada.  There should be much illustration by means of maps and pictures.  See Educational Pamphlet No. 4, Visual Aids in the Teaching of History.

The chapter numbers in the Course for Form III are those of the chapters in The Story of the British People prescribed for the Form.  These chapters should be carefully read and, in Form IV, the authorized text-books should be followed for the main account. Having regard to the time available for the Course, only the most important details should be taken up.
