Vous cherchez une unité attrayante et significative pour vos élèves sur le jour du Souvenir ?

J'en avais marre des activités de coloriage et des recherches de mots, et peut-être recherchez-vous quelque chose de plus mature mais avec un contenu qui n'est pas trop intense pour vos pré-adolescents et adolescents. Le jour du Souvenir mérite des discussions profondes et réflexives.

Cette unité de 45 pages engagera vos élèves dans une discussion active et les amènera à réfléchir sur : la guerre, la liberté, le sacrifice, la neutralité, la mémoire, la paix et le conflit. Des images et des détails poignants leur permettront de mieux comprendre le symbolisme du coquelicot, le jour de l'Armistice, l'Holocauste d'Hitler et le rôle que les Canadiens ont joué dans les deux guerres mondiales. Il leur fera explorer brièvement la Première Guerre mondiale et la Seconde Guerre mondiale ainsi que certaines guerres actuelles.

Trois pièces de compréhension (sur la crête de Vimy, sur le poème de MacCrae et sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale) fourniront des moyens d'évaluation pour la collecte de données pour les prochains bulletins! Deux invites d'écriture persuasives sont également fournies.

** Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage. Mon groupe est à plusieurs niveaux et la plupart de mes élèves nécessitent des adaptations sous forme d'organisateurs graphiques. Par conséquent, mes documents reflètent une classe à plusieurs niveaux. **

My products are built for middle-schoolers, are never babyish and meet them where they're at. They promote collaboration and push independent, explorative projects.

This 24-page document will have your students exploring Canadian politics and the election process by doing a group research project on platforms, creating an infographic on a politician, discovering their own values (and creating their own platform), submitting their own candidacy for class president, as well as making a brochure and poster to support their campaign. Students will experience a mock-election, will complete registration forms, cast their ballot, tally the votes and decide on a winner. Stickers to encourage voting, and a graph to show tallied votes are included! I love pairing this up with my math unit on statistics and data, and we tend to create charts to show the placings. This can also be easily paired up with units on fractions and ratios to show relationships between parts and wholes.

Through readings and activities, students will develop an understanding of political parties, their platforms, party leaders and teams, the campaign trail, voting and polling stations, voter registration and ballot casting, candidacy and marketing - and they'll be involved, hands-on, at all steps of the way.

Here are the activities you'll find in this transdisciplinary document:

• "Survol du document"

• "Cartes des partis politiques" (Political party cards to be printed and cut)

• "De la vraie politique canadienne" (A graphic organizer for research activity)

• "Nos sources crédibles" (A graphic organizer to keep track of information sources)

• "Instructions" (For independent, bibliographic infographic project on a politician)

• "Justin Trudeau" (A modelled example of a finished infographic to use as a guide)

• Blank infographic template to be used by students

• "Qu'est-ce qu'un candidat?" (A short comprehension piece with 2 questions)

• "Un politicien admirable" (A graphic organizer that has students reflecting on qualities and characteristics of a leader)

• "Débats électoraux" (An informative piece explaining the need to cater your message to your audience)

• "Préoccupations + Intérêts" (A two-page activity on representing the voice of your constituents)

• "Les plateformes politiques" (An activity on making promises about your values, and actionable change)

• "Votez pour moi" (An explanation for the final project including success criteria)

• Blank brochure template to be used by students

• "Jérémie Dallaire #4PREZ" (A modelled example of a finished brochure to use as a guide and reference tool)

• "Jérémie Dallaire" campaign poster (A modelled example of a finished poster to use as a guide and reference tool)

• "Ma carte d'électeur officielle" (A printable card for each student to register as a voter in the upcoming election)

• "Conditions de vote" (An in-depth explanation of the voting process and accommodations available at the polls, and the ways ballots can become nullified)

• "Bulletin de vote" (A printable card for each student to cast their ballot and vote in the election)

• 2 pages of stickers

• "Résultats de l'élection" - a blank graph to record votes and find your next class president!

Ce document de 30 pages contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour que vos élèves puissent effectuer des recherches indépendantes sur une province ou un territoire canadien. Créé pour être utilisé pour les élèves d'immersion française de 6e année à l'ÎPÉ, il comprend les éléments suivants:

• Une explication détaillée et un aperçu de la recherche;
• Des critères de réussite détaillés;
• Une auto-évaluation avec objectifs et réflexion.

Mes élèves ont aimé utiliser Canva pour leurs cartes postales / affiches; mais n'importe quel support fonctionne bien et un 'template' est donné pour un dépliant/pamphlet à plier.

Mes documents ont tous été créés pour des suppléants et remplaçants; donc ils sont faciles à utiliser, comprendre et effectuer.
