This lesson for English Language Learners (ELLs) discusses greenwashing, when individuals and organizations falsely portray their actions as beneficial to the environment. All activities are automatically graded with feedback provided to the learner upon submission.
The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a criterion-referenced performance scale that supports educators as they work with a growing demographic of learners that require English as an Additional Language (EAL) supports. In order to ensure that such learners attain high levels of achievement across the Saskatchewan curriculum, the use of reference scales and corresponding resources is valuable to teacher planning and development of:
effective strategies to support English language learners; consistent approaches to instruction and assessment based on language needs; and, ongoing monitoring of student progress over time.
The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a well-established language framework that identifies ways in which learners at various levels of proficiency use language to perform meaningful, authentic tasks. The descriptors within the CFR identify observable behaviours that can be structured to support the attainment of provincial curriculum outcomes for EAL learners.

Word document of the Sun West School Division Initial EAL Interview
A scope and sequence is included. 25 lessons are provided with a structure that includes: pre-reading, first read, second/third read, comprehension check, fluency check.
This course provides language development opportunities in the four skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), in representing, and in viewing. Initial emphasis will be on developing oral language skills but all literacy readiness skills are incorporated.
Furthermore, since basic numeracy skills are needed for everyday communication and academic life, these students will gain awareness of the relationship between language and numbers. Students will have the chance to explore a range of practical and academic math applications.
Students will have opportunities to develop basic English language skills for communicating about self, family, school and community as well as the literacy, language and skills needed for .eventual participation in ELA and other content areas.
Finally, this course helps students develop confidence to learn in a formal setting and reduce the gap between the students’ age and the target academic skills for their age group.

“I was born in Seoul, South Korea. My mom and dad immigrated to Toronto when I was a just 3 months old. They dreamed of becoming entrepreneurs. In 1978 they opened one of the first businesses in Toronto’s Koreatown.
As a teenager, I wanted nothing to do with the family business. I didn't speak Korean; I wasn’t interested in my parents’ Korean culture. I just wanted to be like the other Canadian kids. My mom finally kicked me out of the house.
Five years ago, my dad got sick. I decided it was time to embrace my roots. I started managing the restaurant. I even learned to speak Korean.
I am a Korean-Canadian, proud of what my family has built.”
Le Jour du Souvenir (11 novembre) et la Semaine des vétérans nous rappellent les sacrifices de celles et ceux qui ont servi et qui servent toujours notre pays.

La Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale, qui s’inspire de la Convention internationale sur l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination raciale, vise à reconnaître que des injustices et des préjudices basés sur la discrimination raciale sont causés tous les jours. Observée le 21 mars de chaque année, elle commémore le jour où, en 1960, des policiers de Sharpeville en Afrique du Sud ont ouvert le feu lors d’une manifestation pacifique contre les « lois sur les laissez-passer », dans le contexte de l’apartheid, et tué 69 personnes.
Trousse d’outils numériques
Nous avons créé une trousse d’outils numériques pour aider la population canadienne à promouvoir la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale.
Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.”
Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day.
This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.
