This digital version of my Canadian Government and Citizenship unit supports the revised 2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum for Grade 5, Strand B. This inquiry based unit has been fully updated to meet all expectations, and allows students to work on social and environmental issues of interest to them. While working towards a culminating task that allows students to explain how they feel different levels of government should handle or have handled an important issue, they are using various organizers to record their learning.
Students are able to:
- access video links and relevant website links for research purposes
- use Google Read & Write™️ to have texts read to them
- use copy and paste feature to help with tasks
- build upon pre-existing tech skills
***Please Note*** This digital resource does NOT contain the three-part lesson plans that are included in the full original unit.
Components of Revised Resource (2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum):
- Levels of Government
- Local, Regional and National Issues
- First Nations, Metis & Inuit Governance Structures
- Creating Powerful Inquiry Questions
- Perspectives on Social and Environmental Issues
- Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship
- Creating an Action Plan
- Assessing Governmental Actions

✔ It’s easy to implement with distance learning.
✔ It’s just fun to use!
Can I edit this resource?
I have left 95% of the texts in editable form for two reasons:
➀ to ensure that students are able to use Google Read & Write with the activities.
➁ to allow teachers to edit texts and tasks when they feel it suitable for their class or to address IEP accommodations for specific students.
How do I collect student work?
Your students will simply complete their own copies of the lessons, and turn it into your platform (ie. Google Classroom).
