This comprehensive resource offers the big idea, I Can Statements, print resources, websites and ideas for the classroom for all indicators in IN7.1.

This detailed writing sample was written by a Grade 7 student at Eston Composite School.  The author discusses the importance of goals, shares their life goals, and explains the importance of breaking the goals down to achieve them. 

This document outlines all Grade 8 Arts Ed outcomes/indicators. The specific outcomes/indicators with Treaty Connections are highlighted and support materials/treaty content are outlined.

Life offers us much opportunity for adventure and suspense. We can climb mountains, sail around the world, journey to faraway places, or travel through space. We can become explorers and adventurers. We can enjoy the challenge and overcome our fears and, with courage and determination, try something new. Sometimes we succeed and conquer. Other times we may fail to live up to the challenge but learn an unexpected lesson. The victories and the lessons remind us that all of life’s adventures must be kept in perspective.
The unit is organized around three focus questions with sample lessons and suggested resources included. Time allocations given are approximations only. Teachers can choose to spend more or less time on each lesson depending on the needs and interests of their students.

How can I, as a Grade 8 teacher, support my students’ reading achievement?

The Ministry of Education has developed a brief support document that outlines the link between Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) and Saskatchewan English Language Arts curricula and offers some questions teachers could consider as they reflect on reading instruction and student achievement.

Summary of Plan for Communication and Computer and Digital Technologies:

I wanted the students to have a realistic scenario in which they would have to display and use data to persuade an audience of a particular point of view. I thought of a sales pitch by a travel agent. I created 13 different scenarios for my 13 students. Each scenario detailed the names of each individual travelling, the reason for the trip, the group’s budget, the duration of the trip, and preferred location of travel. Student blindly selected a scenario. The student would assume the role of the travel agent and their sales pitch to the class using a Power Point presentation. They would use the rubric to guide the development of their presentations.

With this document, students reflect on the I Can Statements for the outcomes by providing examples and through self-evaluation.

Grade 8 Math Playlist / Outcome Map.
The following is an example of how you can develop playlists for outcome-based math. Activities can be a compilation of resources you already have, or ones you can access through the resource bank including.

The resource Sample Math Outcome Questions: An Assessment Resource for Teachers:

• provides possible questions, sample responses and rubrics for classroom instruction and assessment.
• is not mandatory.
• was created to support the teaching and learning of mathematics.
• can be adapted by teachers to meet the individual needs of their students.
• can be used before, during and/or after classroom instruction as formative or summative assessment(s).
• is designed to elicit responses that inform teachers’ understanding of the skills and concepts that students need to know, understand and are able to do.

This resource primarily assesses students using written response. Indicators that include terms such as research or collect data (for example) are ideally assessed by means other than a written response. Subsequently, teachers must keep in mind that using this resource provides only one of many forms of evidence that teachers collect to report on student achievement of the outcome.

Each sample includes the outcome, indicators, sample assessment and answer key.

The University of Saskatchewan offers this tremendous resource that promotes the richness and diversity of the sciences, nurture curiosity and innovation, and inspire students to consider a career in science, and support teachers to provide exciting educational experiences.

This Grade 9 ELA newspaper project can be used as a summative assessment after reading The Absolutely True Diary... by Sherman Alexie. Using Microsoft Word templates, students create a newspaper with a variety of different forms of text and representations.
