Looking for an easy way to blend your Grade 5 and 6 social studies unit? Hoping to teach ONE lesson to both grades, while covering all Strand A curriculum expectations? This Ontario Grade 5/6 Social Studies: Strand A Heritage and Identity inquiry-based unit is meant to support the 2018 Ontario Social Studies Curriculum. This is a COMBINED grade unit, meaning that it has been carefully created to blend the key expectations so that teachers are able to teach one lesson to both grades.
This “printable + digital” bundle contains the following:
☑ Original (printable PDF) version
☑ Digital version created with Google Slides
These are “companion” resources, meaning that the content is the same. It allows you to have IEP students with accommodations using the digital version to complete the same work as students working with the printable version. (It also allows for a painless transition between in-class and distance learning!)
❯ The printable version contains the full 3-part lesson plans
❯ The digital version features full-colour slides, clickable hyperlinks, movable pieces, and text that is 95% editable.
The two topics covered are:
►Grade 5: Interactions of Indigenous Peoples and Europeans Prior to 1713
►Grade 6: Communities in Canada, Past and Present
Fourteen detailed 3-part lessons are included in this resource, with each lesson taking either 1 or 2 class periods to complete. Particular attention has been paid to Canada’s First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities, to reflect the recommendations in the 2015 Truth & Reconciliation Report. In addition, the culminating event for the unit is a series of debates, and a full implementation plan has been provided for this event.
