For my artifact, I incorporated literature circles into the reading of the novel, Lord of the Flies. The first step in this process was to introduce the roles to the students and to explain what was expected of them. Then, I split the students into their groups of four using a random group generator (groups can be adjusted based on numbers, but four worked best in my class). Once students knew what was expected of them, they talked with their group members to determine who was doing what role for the first two chapters. From there, we would read two chapters and I would allow the students time to complete their role sheet (I also encouraged them to do this as they were reading along, especially for quotes and vocab) and then they would meet with their group to share their role with the other members. As the teacher, I would circulate between the groups while they were sharing to listen to them and to provide any input/clarifications. We would then repeat this process after each two chapters (there are 12 chapters in total in the novel).

This self-reflection tool is designed to ensure that teaching practices are aligned with Structure Literacy. The user is encouraged to note (by checking off the boxes) all areas they are currently putting into practice. The completed reflection can then be used with the principal or the leadership team to set targets for professional learning, professional growth, and/or a plan for Structured Literacy implementation. The goal is to ensure all areas identified are implemented within the classroom.

Do you want your class to be part of Canada’s Space program?
With the Lunar Rover Research Challenge, students could control a Canadensys rover in a mock-lunar environment by winning this low-prep, high-impact competition. Canadensys recently received a contract from the Canadian Space Agency to send a rover to the moon as early as 2026.
You can do the project in 3-4 hours for a classroom experience or 6+ hours to compete.

Win the chance for your class to operate a Lunar Rover in a simulated mission. There will be Canadian rovers on the Moon by the end of this decade. Let’s Talk Science, Canadensys Aerospace, and Avalon Space have teamed up to give Canadian youth in Grades 6-9 the opportunity to learn about rover technology and how to plan missions on the Moon.
The Lunar Rover Research Challenge invites teams of students to pitch their mission plans for the chance to remotely operate a Canadensys rover in a lunar-like environment.
Welcome to the Lunar Rover Research Challenge!
The challenge is for students to design a rover mission to find frozen water at the South Pole of the Moon. The activity is structured as a collaborative board game or digital game where students are guided through the design process. They equip their rover with scientific instruments, choose a target, then determine where to take measurements.
The experience is designed around 5 lessons:
1: Learn about Canada’s role in the upcoming lunar missions and the benefits of space exploration to life on Earth 2: Review the mission brief and learn how to plan a rover mission on the Moon 3: Plan the mission using an iterative design process scaffolded as a collaborative board game 4: Communicate ideas and prepare for submission 5: Reflect on the team’s experience and the impact of space exploration on society
Set in the context of space exploration, this project develops students’ design thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. Students must design their research mission by considering pros and cons, and weighing risks and rewards.
This challenge can be completed without a submission to the competition.

> QU’EST-CE QUE L’ÉCOLE DE L’OCÉAN? L’Université Dalhousie et l’Ocean Frontier Institute se sont associés avec l’Office national du film pour créer École de l’Océan, une expérience d’apprentissage par enquête gratuite et innovante.
À l’École de l’Océan, les apprenants explorent les habitats des fonds marins du golfe du Saint-Laurent au moyen de la réalité virtuelle. Ils se prennent en photo avec une baleine grandeur nature en réalité augmentée et dissèquent une morue virtuelle. Ils apprennent l’histoire de la morue racontée par un artiste autochtone dans une animation originale. Des vidéos à 360° les transportent dans des endroits qu’ils ne pourraient jamais visiter autrement, comme des forêts de kelp ou une île tropicale située à 550 kilomètres au large de la côte pacifique du Costa Rica.
L’expérience de l’École de l’Océan commence par une grande question posée aux élèves — un défi qui oriente leur enquête. Chaque élément média est accompagné d’une activité personnalisable que les enseignants peuvent attribuer par Google Classroom ou télécharger aux fins d’utilisation en classe. À la fin de chaque module, les apprenants élaborent un plan d’action visant à résoudre les problèmes sociaux et environnementaux auxquels ils ont été sensibilisés.
L'École de l’Océan donne à la prochaine génération de citoyens de l’Océan, de chercheurs et d’innovateurs les connaissances et les outils pour explorer et concevoir des solutions innovantes aux problèmes urgents auxquels font face les océans de la planète.
> POUR ACCÉDEZ Si vous en êtes à votre première visite à l'École de l'Océan, vous devrez créer et confirmer votre compte ONF.
