These resources were created to directly align with the Alberta Grade 2 Social Studies Curriculum. Everything you need is included. All 3 units are based on an imaginary ‘trip’ to each community. Each unit relies heavily on a variety of internet links so that students benefit from visual opportunities to explore each community. The units were designed to focus on skill development, inquiry, and research. There are opportunities for structured, guided, and open levels of inquiry. This allows the students to synthesize the information and reflect on their learning. It also allows for critical, historical, geographic, and creative thinking. Each unit was designed to last approximately 2 months. All website links, worksheets, unit test, projects and activities are all included. I have made everything you will need, and have done countless hours of research.
In these units, the students will go on a 'trip' to each community. They will learn about:
Geography
Weather
Early Days
Daily Life
Languages
Community contributors
Traditions
Traditional stories
Holidays
Festivals
Natural Resources
Goods
Service
Jobs
Tourism
Environmental problems
By the end of each unit, the students will be able to answer the driving question - "What makes this community unique to Canada?"
All Grade 2 Social learner outcomes of Canada's Dynamic Communities are covered in this unit.
Includes:
- lesson ideas - just follow it and you've got the outcomes covered.
- Printables
- Website links galore - all the research is done for you!
- Higher-level questions including inquiry work - guided and independent.
