Are you a Grade 4/5 French Immersion Ontario teacher looking for a DIGITAL social studies unit that allows you to teach both grades at the same time? No more hopping back and forth between grades? Check out this blended unit, created for use with Google Slides™️ to meet expectations for the 2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum for Strand B: People and Environments:
· Grade 4: Political and Physical Regions of Canada
· Grade 5: The Role of Responsible Citizenship and Government
Blended Learning!
Teachers can instruct both grades at once, with each grade level having a slightly different focus:
Ø Grade 4: will look at how human activity affects the environment, and vice versa, in different regions, provinces, and territories.
Ø Grade 5: will explore how various levels of governments are involved in these environmental issues.
The French Immersion version of this digital unit includes all student texts and tasks in French, while some teacher notes can be found in English under the slides.
This unit was created using a “backward-design” model, with students finishing the units 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 sections of this unit will assist students in building the knowledge they will require for that culminating project.
The blended format of this resource allows teachers to teach one lesson to both grades, while still meeting the curriculum expectations in a structured manner. The societies looked at for each grade level are different, but are explored in similar manners. While you may want to use a variety of supplemental materials, this resource contains student-friendly texts.

I already own your original Grade 4/5 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 it into your platform (ie. Google Classroom).
