$19.99 CAD

Are you a Grade 3/4 Ontario teacher looking for an engaging digital Strand A social studies unit? It IS possible to teach the Grade 3 Communities in Canada, 1780-1850 AND the Grade 4 Early Societies to 1500 using purposeful activities without having to jump back and forth between grades!

This Life in Early Communities resource meets the expectations from the 2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum, using the big ideas to blend both units together. That means you can teach one lesson to both grades, and then each grade can explore the big ideas using parallel texts and tasks!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What will I need to assign this resource to my students?

You will require:

❶ Access to the internet

❷ A Google Drive Account

I already own your original Grade 3/4 Strand B Social Studies unit. Why should I consider purchasing this digital version?

The digital resources completely align with the regular units. This makes it extremely easy to meet IEP accommodations for specific students with little effort on your part.

✔ The digital resources are paperless, which is perfect if your school administrator is asking you to cut down on photocopying!

✔ The saturated, full-colour interactive slides are engaging for students.

✔ 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 them into your platform (ie. Google Classroom).
