Finally, another unit for our fellow Canadians! Canadian Government takes a difficult and complicated topic and breaks it down into something more digestible. With French word highlights, art, vocabulary, and Bible pages, it is diverse and broad reaching. Your unit project for pre-reader students is to make a mini book of Canadian symbols. Older students are building their own country! With fun prompts such as choosing a country name, mapping out the geography, coming up with a coat of arms, deciding how the government will work, and more! They will even hold their own mock election and debate!
Other important topics are things such as levels of government involvement, different types of government, a focus on some of Canada's Prime Ministers (plus check out our beautiful watercolored Prime Minister flashcards!), exports and trade, and more!
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil bound.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
