Dépenser = Penser est une série de dix capsules vidéos présentant les concepts de littératie financière du plus récent programme-cadre de mathématiques de l'Ontario. Destinées aux élèves de la 5e à la 6e année en français langue seconde, les vidéos mettent en scène les personnages de Mina et d'Abby qui font face à des situations financières.

On y trouve aussi des outils pédagogiques.

In this art history video discussion Beth Harris and Steven Zucker look at Albrecht Dج_rer's "The Four Apostles", oil on wood, 1526. Alte Pinakothek, Munich.

Students further their understanding of the engineering design process (EDP) while applying researched information on transportation technology, materials science and bioengineering. Students are given a fictional client statement (engineering challenge) and directed to follow the steps of the EDP to design prototype patient safety systems for small-size model ambulances. While following the steps of the EDP, students identify suitable materials and demonstrate two methods of representing solutions to the design challenge (scale drawings and small-scale prototypes). A successful patient safety system meets all of the project's functions and constraints, including the model patient (a raw egg) "surviving" a front-end collision test with a 1:8 ramp pitch.

Explicitly teach connotative and denotative language. (See notes & scanned advertisements, which are completed as a class – teacher directed - and handout, which is done in a small group and then corrected as a class). Students will then partner up, select an innocent everyday item, get it approved, and design a “safe” or “family friendly” advertisement for placement in an innocuous magazine such as Family Circle, Canadian Home Workshop, or Knitting World. Students then start thinking outside the box for what loaded language they can incorporate into their advertisement to appeal to readers’ humour and sell to a very different audience. These advertisements will be somewhat racier and more riské as they are designed to be placed in magazines such as Men’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and the like. I then encourage students to complete the ads using an appropriate computer program, but this isn’t a set requirement. Some students are very artistic and prefer to free hand their work.

Project:
You are a teenager with an amazing idea for a new documentary that you are sure everyone will want to see! You just know that if this documentary gets picked up you will hit the big time. In order for this documentary to hit the big screen, you first have to pitch it to a big time Executive Director, and convince him/her that this film is worth the money.

In this excerpt, Robert Ross, a 19-year-old Canadian officer during WWI, "faces the horrors of war and makes desperate decisions to protect the soldiers whose lives he holds in his hands."

Human beings all over the world are in the middle of a technological revolution, the likes of which have not been seen since the industrial revolution. New inventions are being created daily with varying degrees of success. However, we are also dependent on many inventions that may not be new, but are imperative for our daily lives. In this lesson, students will choose one invention and create an inquiry poster, explaining its significance.

In the past, Eatonia Colony School published a school newspaper monthly. It was decided that while focusing on creativity and collaboration, we would bring the paper to life again! This project was a collaborative school effort. Every student in grades 1-8 participated and had a job to do. We brainstormed ideas together and put our two oldest girls in charge of being the editors. We set deadlines and every grade/student was in charge of designing their own pages.
We have included pictures of our process as well as the cover, table of contents and pictures from our finished product! We have also included a lesson plan and our assessment rubrics.

Fairy tale lesson that incorporates choice into the lesson, content, and assignment. Users can easily customize to their own interests and abilities.

This assignment is intended to display your understanding of the novel that you have chosen. Written work should be typed (12pt font) and double-spaced. You will have some class time to work on this assignment, but it is sometimes difficult to book computer time that will accommodate our schedule. Please plan ahead. You may choose a book from any of the senior ELA sections, but I would prefer if you tried to find a novel in the ELA 20 section before looking elsewhere.

First, we studied fairytales and fractured fairytales. We learned about the elements of each story and compared them. During the learning process students were practicing a variety of reading comprehension strategies: predicting, inferring, compare and contrast, main idea, theme etc. After learning about all the elements of fractured fairytales my students took their shot at writing them. They were split into partners based on the fairytale that they wanted to fracture. Then they had to work through the five stages of the writing process. First, the partners had to plan their fractured fairytale. They were given the choice of what kind of graphic organizer to use to begin their planning and brainstorming. They had to plan their plot, setting, problem and solution. Then the students worked through the rough draft, editing and revising stages of the writing process. Throughout those phases they were completing self-assessment checklists to keep on track with their work. Lastly, they wrote a good copy of their fractured fairytale and illustrated it. This also included a cover page and a back page. The back page included a teaser to hook the reader.

Practice using the viewing guide with one or two videos first, following the lesson steps below. This may be done every second or third day. Once students feel comfortable with the viewing process, a summative viewing guide can be completed by the students for grading.

In this writing mini unit we developed our Persuasive Writing Skills moving towards being able to write a
Before
- Discussion of prior knowledge of persuasive writing
During
- Watched a SMART exchange video on persuasive writing
- Reviewed understanding of and practiced doing some persuasive exercises
- Read various examples of persuasive writing and noted the differences and similarities. (Also, noting the variety of writing dress-ups; so that we can hear the persuasive words.)
- Co-constructed criteria for the writing process of persuasive writing.
- Students created their own persuasive paragraph writing examples.
- Learned how to improve so the writing incorporated the specific writing strategy and dress-ups so that the listener, reader could hear the conviction of being persuaded.
- Students then chose one of their samples to create a power point presentation for class.
After
- Analyzed the writing using the criteria together as a class. Using the feedback we will created another piece of persuasive writing. The final goal: moving towards the five paragraph essay process/product.

In my Grade 5 ELA class, we are learning about the persuasive techniques that advertisers use to entice you to buy their products or use their services. We spent a few classes watching TV commercials and viewing print ads and identifying the persuasive techniques that the advertisers used. The students were then placed into small groups (2-3 people) and were asked to choose a product or service that they will try to sell. They were asked to create any props, backdrops, posters, etc. that would help to advertise their product or service. They also had to keep in mind that different target audiences will require different persuasive techniques. My goal for my 21st Century Competencies work is to learn how to use imovie and then teach the students so that they can create an actual TV commercial in order to advertise their product or service.

In this lesson, students answer questions in regards to what makes a show funny, what are funny shows, etc. Then students will create their own "episode" of a comedy show.

We decided it would be fun to make a creative diorama book report. A diorama is the three dimensional re-creation of a scene. They are created inside of a box. The student was to choose a book he/she had recently read and create a diorama using a shoe box. A written report was also part of the book report.

Belonging to a family is another important relationship in our lives. We can choose our friends but, like it or not, we are born into families and we must, for the most part, manage with those with whom we find ourselves. However these various relationships work out, our interactions with family members have a profound influence throughout our lives. This resource is based off of "All" By Leona Gom.
