Teachers can instruct both grades at once, with each grade level having a slightly different focus:
✪ Grade 4: will look at how human activity affects the environment, and vice versa, in different regions, provinces, and territories.
✪ Grade 5: will explore how various levels of governments are involved in these environmental issues.
This unit was created using a “backward-design” model, with students finishing the unit with projects that reflect the big ideas of the curriculum. In the original PDF version of this unit, there are four Grade 4 project choices: Poster, Scrapbook, Brochure or Cube, while Grade 5 choices are: Poster, Scrapbook, Report, or Cube. In this digital version of the unit, the choices have been reduced to 2, due to the project formats: Poster or Scrapbook (There are appropriate slides for these projects included directly in this digital resource.)
All 16 lessons included in this unit will assist students in building the knowledge they will require for that culminating project.
Activities:
► Mapping
► Drag and Drop Slides
► Exit Tickets
► Quizzes

I already own your original Grade 4/5 Strand B Social Studies unit. Why should I consider purchasing this printable + 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.
✔ You can have some students working with the printable texts and tasks, and others working with the digital version that has the same content.
✔ The digital resources are paperless, which is perfect if your school administrator is asking you to cut down on photocopying!

✔ 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 DIGITAL text 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.
The printable version of this bundle is not editable.
How do I collect digital student work?
Your students will simply complete their own copies of the lessons, and turn it into your platform (ie. Google Classroom).
