Grade 7 ~ History

For Grade 7 History I was able to find PDF files of Unit 1 and Unit 2 from the actual textbook online for free and have uploaded them in the links below. Unfortunately I was unable to find Unit 3 anywhere online. I did however discover that Pearson Canada offers access to both the grade 7 history and the grade 7 geography textbooks online for a minimal price of $8.00 per year for the 2 texts. The online version can be for any computer or tablet and offers features such as highlighting text and bookmarking etc. Had I found this site at the beginning of the year it would have eliminated hours and hours of research! Here is the link to purchase the Pearson Canada texts.
