=Handout from Start UP workshop- Holly Lloyd.=

The handout is missing the social responsibility quickscales. These can be found online at the following BC Ministry website: [|performance standards for social responsibility]

The quick scales written in child friendly language:

Version One

Version Two

=Mapping Units:= Each unit has 6 lessons. With some adaptation, these lessons can stand alone, be integrated into other units or be used in sequence. World maps are only in the level 4 unit and Canada maps are only in the level 5 unit. Please remember mapping is best taught within the context of other topics in Social Studies and these are meant as a starter.

- grade 4 unit covers continents and oceans, symbols and legends World Map with Atlantic centre can be found at [|World Map Dot Com]

- This is the Dog Lake and the See Island activities from unit 4 translated into French for any immersion teachers:) Hope someone will use it! I love the idea of us all sharing:) Fabulous! Thanks so much for doing that! -Holly

- reviews continents and oceans, symbols and legends; covers Canadian political boundaries, physical regions and distribution of natural resources

- Each province and their flag is located in this document. You can cut them out and paste them onto black cardstock (laminate them, I love laminating) and they can be used along side Holly's lesson- mapping unit 5. When you are done you will have 13 province cards. They turn out great if you have a colour printer :)
 * For a** **sample** of what they look like printed, matted, and laminated click on the link:[[file:pita-earlycareer/sample_of_province_tags.jpg|sample_of_province_tags.jpg]] :) KL

- For grade 6 & 7 reviews continents and oceans, symbols and legends, Canadian political boundaries; covers scale and distance, longitude and latitude

= = =Organization Skills:= - This is a great version of the test that teaches students to read the directions carefully before beginning. It can also be used to teach the skill of scanning a paper quickly. For example, reading the first half of the sentence to make sure it is a direction would quickly help you see that question 13 is different.

=Weekly Online Current Events Units= Currents4Kids (C4K) is a subscription-based online news site for elementary and middle school-age students that features 40 weekly news articles over the course of the school year. The articles are accompanied by online quizzes and other activities, and supplementary materials.
