"The introduction of Saskatchewan's new Law 30 curriculum means that teachers are reworking their Law 30 programs. As Saskatchewan's source for free legal information, PLEA is making it easier to accomplish this task.

PLEA will continually be constructing this portal that links Law 30 curricular outcomes and indicators to available PLEA resources, across all of our programming.

Click any Outcome listed on the menu to the left (desktop) or the Browse Resource menu on the top (mobile) to find what resources we have available for those outcomes. Because some resources will fulfill more than one indicator, to help you along we list (in parentheses) any other Law 30 indicators linked to that resource.

As we introduce new resources, we will link them on this guide. Check back often!"

From the David Anderson site, "Each year, over 400,000 people tour the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, including many of my constituents from Cypress Hills – Grasslands. However, since many people are unable to visit Ottawa in person, I am delighted to welcome you to this Online Tour of Parliament. Designed by my staff using Google’s Street View technology, this resource now enables you to take an online guided tour of Centre Block – the heart of Canada’s Parliament buildings."

India is fast becoming a superpower, says Shashi Tharoor -- not just through trade and politics, but through "soft" power, its ability to share its culture with the world through food, music, technology, Bollywood. He argues that in the long run it's not the size of the army that matters as much as a country's ability to influence the world's hearts and minds. After a long career at the UN, and a parallel life as a novelist, Shashi Tharoor became a member of India's Parliament. He spent 10 months as India's Minister for External Affairs, building connections between India and the world. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 18-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.
