Remember Unity Day and Orange Shirt Day with this engaging and educational foldable craft activity designed for 2nd to 5th-grade students. This resource promotes awareness of the importance of unity, kindness, and the message "Every Child Matters." It features four unique shirt designs, two characters (a boy and a girl), and two (groups of friends) reflecting unity to encourage creativity and personal expression. With 12+ thought-provoking questions about unity day, Orange Shirt Day, students can reflect on the historical and cultural significance of this day while creating their own foldable crafts.

(Orange Shirt Day is a day of remembrance that originated in Canada to honor the survivors and victims of the residential school system. It is observed annually on September 30th. The day aims to raise awareness about the history and long-lasting effects of residential schools, which were institutions where the government forcibly sent Indigenous children in an attempt to assimilate them into Euro-Canadian culture. Many of these children experienced abuse, neglect, and loss of their cultural identities.)

Firstly, there are five reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

• An Overview of the Aztec Empire
• Key Advancements of the Aztecs
• Emperor Itzcoatl
• Moctezuma II
• Hernan Cortes
• Religion in the Aztec Empire

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, a crossword and a wordsearch for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Then, there are two biography writing units about Moctezuma II and Hernan Cortes. The units have been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Then, there is an informational writing unit about the Aztec Empire. The unit has again been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Finally, there is an opinion writing unit about who was the most influential figure from the Aztec era: Itzcoatl, Moctezuma II or Hernan Cortes. This unit has again been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you find the resource useful!
