Introduce the story by discussing the idea of the mystery of the human brain and how fear operates in our brain. Ask students questions regarding the absence or presence of fear in people, and what this means in terms of how people can act in our society. Upon reading to and/or listening to the short story “The Tell Tale Heart”, discuss any connections between the character who murders the Old Man and the character in the YouTube video? Further discuss what makes a killer?

A youthful poster for your classroom door to indicate that there is testing going on.

This awesome science video explores how engineers make a plan to test all of the variables for the problem they are seeking a solution to.

This PowerPoint is intended to be used in a Middle Years classroom. The concepts discussed in this PowerPoint are taken from the book, "Self-Regulation in the Classroom: Helping Students Learn How to Learn" by Richard M. Cash. Each PeBL Mentor received a copy of this book so each school in the division has access to this text. This PowerPoint is intended to be modified based on the needs of the teacher and classroom

Students in Mathematics 6/7/8 work in mixed-grade groups to determine a “Top 5” list of concepts from the course based on provided criteria developed over the course of the year. Students choose a format in which to share their “Top 5” including rationale for why each concept connects to mathematics outside of the classroom. Ultimately, students present their conclusions in an attempt to convince the panel that their “Top 5” is the most deserving of entering the Mathematics Hall of Fame. I decided to use mixed-grade groups for this project in an attempt to encourage more rich conversation as students need to explain concepts in order to convince their peers of their importance. The timing of this project at the end of the year also allows the work to serve as review for final written evaluations.

Treaty Education Outcomes and Indicators
Inquiry Questions for each grade
Teacher Background Information
Suggested Resources

This Saskatchewan Ministry of Education documents outlines all of the Treaty Education outcome and indicators for Kindergarten to Grade 12.

This simulation is designed to provide students with a first hand, personal experience of the treaty making process. The insight they gain from this simulation will assist them in their understanding of treaty and its impact on the lives of First Nation peoples. This simulation is targeted at middle years to senior students.

This awesome science video outlines how, as part of the engineering process, engineers identify and isolate variables and then run trials to test their solutions.

Paint.NET, the free program begun as an undergraduate senior design project at Washington State University, by Microsoft, is currently being maintained by some of the original creators. It is intended as a replacement for the limited Paint program that comes with Windows.

Paint.NET is an image and photo manipulation program that supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects and a number of tools and effects. The latest, version, 2.63, is designed to be run on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Server 2003. Information about the program and how to download it can be found at: - http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/pdnabout.html.

You must have Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 on your computer before you can install Paint.Net.

Summary: Infographics have become a very popular method of sharing information. Students learned how to read infographics by looking at various examples of basic graphics and then expanded to a wide variety of methods used to show information on different topics.
The theme that was being focused on was An Eye on the Natural and Technological Environment. Because of rotation of themes, I ended up with three grades doing the same theme, however they covered their own outcomes for their grade as can be seen above.

For your project in our Mystery and Suspense unit you will have a choice of one of the following options that can be completed individually, in pairs, or in small groups (no more than 3). No matter what option you choose you will be required to write a project proposal and submit it to Ms. Moser before moving on to creating it. Use your “Recipe for a Mystery” sheet to guide you; you will be marked on your ability to include those elements into your original creation.
