In pretending, we learn to navigate with ease between real and imaginary worlds while learning the differences between them. Using our imaginations encourages original thinking, flexibility, adaptability, empathy, and the ability to generate multiple solutions to a problem. Pretend play helps us learn to think visually and spatially and to both capture and express ideas.
Set on the Tsilhqot’in plateau in the 1970s, Clouds of Autumn focuses on a young Indigenous boy named William and his older sister Shayl whose carefree childhoods are torn apart when Shayl is forced to attend a residential school. Singular visual interpretations infuse co-director Trevor Mack’s family history with a slowly shifting tone that evokes loss and love.
BEST CANADIAN SHORT DRAMA - 2015 imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival
In which John Green wraps up revolutions month with what is arguably the most revolutionary of modern revolutions, the Industrial Revolution. While very few leaders were beheaded in the course of this one, it changed the lives of more people more dramatically than any of the political revolutions we've discussed. So, why did the Industrial Revolution happen around 1750 in the United Kingdom? Coal. Easily accessible coal, it turns out. All this, plus you'll finally learn the difference between James Watt and Thomas Newcomen, and will never again be caught telling people that your blender has a 900 Newcomen motor.
"Cocoa Ice" is set in the early 1800s and describes the exchange that occurs when a trading ship from Maine travels to the Caribbean village of Santo Domingo. The story is told in two parts, each part narrated by a girl who lives in one of these locations.
All year long we study the grade 7 social studies outcomes and explore the relationships between Canada and other Pacific Rim countries. We also spend a significant amount of time on proper paragraph and essay structure in expository writing. There is no greater motivation for the kids than this folk fest project we complete at the end of the year. They work collaboratively with a partner to research, ask questions, and explore the culture of a Pacific Rim country they choose. They must complete the outline, cite their sources, and hand in an essay portion as a partnership. Next, the real fun begins. Exploring the extras is a favourite time because it involves pictures, videos, artifacts, and food! Amazingly, my students have had the privilege of being the 1:1 classroom this year and will be able to incorporate technology in their presentations. We learned how to use several programs like Prezi, Zondle, and One True Media that they can use to add creativity and excitement to their folk fest display. The culmination of their hard work is a full morning where parents and classes alike can walk through and learn from the students about Pacific Rim countries. Once they have finished teaching others, all of the delicious food artifacts are shared in a potluck where we can debrief the morning.

Poppy Wreath for Remembrance Day-printable colouring page
Jason Logan is a Toronto-based artist, inkmaker and forager. He began his career as an illustrator in New York City and became interested in natural sources of pigment when his children were born. This documentary, organized by colour, takes us into Jason’s world, highlighting his curiosity, spirit of experimentation and creativity as he gathers natural and botanical materials throughout his travels and transforms them into ink, working like a mad scientist of sorts. For Jason, the creation of ink becomes a vehicle for connecting and relationship building with artists and other creatives from around the world. This mini lesson invites students to analyze where art materials come from by looking at the impact of drawing on the natural world to make ink. They will also explore concepts of permanence and ephemerality and can engage in geographically tracking the movement of Logan’s inks from place to place. The mini lesson also creates opportunities for students to research an individual artist represented in the film, and finally to work in pairs to make ink for one another.
In which John Green teaches you about the changes wrought by contact between the Old World and the New. John does this by exploring the totally awesome history book "The Columbian Exchange" by Alfred Cosby, Jr. After Columbus "discovered" the Americas, European conquerors, traders, and settlers brought all manner of changes to the formerly isolated continents. Disease and invasive plant and animal species remade the New World, usually in negative ways. While native people, plants, and animals were being displaced in the Americas, the rest of the world was benefitting from American imports, especially foods like maize, tomatoes, potatoes, pineapple, blueberries, sweet potatoes, and manioc. Was the Columbian Exchange a net positive? It's debatable. So debate.
In which John Green teaches you about the beginning of the so-called Age of Discovery. You've probably heard of Christopher Columbus, who "discovered" America in 1492, but what about Vasco da Gama? How about Zheng He? Columbus gets a bad rap from many modern historians, but it turns out he was pretty important as far as the history of the world goes. That said, he wasn't the only pioneer plying the seas in the 1400s. In Portugal, Vasco da Gama was busy integrating Europe into the Indian Ocean Trade by sailing around Africa. Chinese admiral Zheng He was also traveling far and wide in the largest wooden ships ever built. Columbus, whether portrayed as hero or villain, is usually credited as the great sailor of the 15th century, but he definitely wasn't the only contender. What better way to settle this question than with a knock-down, drag-out, no holds barred, old-fashioned battle royal? We were going to make it a cage match, but welding is EXPENSIVE.
