Desert Island Explorer is an engaging, two-week game-based sub unit designed for grades 5 to 9, offering an immersive and bilingual experience centered around the theme of desert islands. This project-based learning module combines elements of language arts, science, and teamwork to enhance students' critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills.

• Lessons are provided in English, and all activities within are French and English.
• These products work in English or French classrooms.

Nothing is more stressful than having to leave work for an extended time: our profession requires us to plan, to create engaging resources, and to assume the subs covering have French capabilities. We all know that's... not the reality of this profession. When you've gotta be out, you've gotta be out, and frankly, when you're in this position, you've not got the time, energy or mental health to allow for this level of planning. That's where I come in! This ressource covers you for roughly two weeks: providing your sub with direction in English, and activities in both English and French to ensure a seamless absence... And if you aren't actually out (or maybe you're checked out and just a body in the room!) but just want someone to tell you what to do for 2 weeks, this checks out for that, too.

I integrate discussion-based prompts, writing activities, reading activities, film watching, reflections, games, math tasks, group work, projects, presentations, art tasks - just about everything to keep them engaged while you're away! This is a clear and engaging this resource for your next emergency absence.

In this mega crypt of activities relating to desert island survival, you'll discover the following activities:

• All lesson plans (in English) for 15 activities and projects;
• Desert Island Charades (An engaging team activity where they must act out different desert island scenarios and go head-to-head against the opposing team);
• Island Survival Expedition (A team-based activity on choosing the items to bring to a desert island - without surpassing a maximum weight limit);
• Shipwrecked (An activity which will have students ranking items based on their importance for survival after being shipwrecked);
• A Brief History of the Message in a Bottle with 2 questions;
• Make Your Own Message in a Bottle (An engaging, meaningful task which involves students writing, decorating, "throwing to sea" and finding bottles with their classmates);
• Bottle + old paper templates (For use with Message in a Bottle activities);
• Dilemme sur une île déserte (4 pages of math activities - French only);
• 2 x Reading comprehension:
  • “Perdus en mer” (French only - grades 7-9) with questions;
  • “L’Île mystérieuse” (French only - grades 4-6) with questions.
• Desert Island Dilemma (A writing prompt with information for idea generation);
• Film project (Success criteria and rubrics included for this team-based, drama-focused task);
• The great survival strategy (Stations activity on persuasive language techniques and strategies)
• The great survival strategy (Persuasive prompt following the stations activity)
• Jeopardy-style flash cards (Whole group team-based game on finding the best answer)
• Watch + Respond (A film to be viewed with examples on how to engage students with their listening)
• Watch + Respond (Student question list - English only)
• Watch + Respond (Collaborative question cards - English only)
• The Ultimate Survival Guide (A final project which will have students creating pamphlets, brochures or an infographic on a desert island. Includes success criteria and rubrics in both English and French).
