as the unit is very pluralistic in nature. It offers the examination of the construction of Canadian
Confederation during times of historic conflict and development, and presents the multiple ways
in which the diverse groups were affected and influenced the events leading up to Confederation.
The way in which I have approached teaching the unit is to offer the students
differentiated ways of experiencing the influence which the diverse Aboriginal, French and
British peoples had on the events leading to Confederation. Through the critical examination of
primary documents, secondary sources, and visuals, I will provide students with the opportunity
to see the impact which the various societies had.
Meaningful: through the use of visuals, and group activities I will entice engagement amongst
the students. By making the students more engaged and passively-forcing them to develop and
defend positions, and then negotiate with others towards peaceful resolutions the students will
experience the material presented in the unit in a more meaningful way. The creation of a
meaningful experience will serve to solidify and consolidate learning.
Integrative: As this unit is the second of four units I will build on the knowledge previously
established in the previous unit and grades. By referring back to certain elements established,
and scaffolding related new terms and concepts I will be able to construct higher levels of
thinking and inquiry based on the integration of existing and new knowledge.
Value-based: The material presented in this unit provide students with the opportunity to not
only explore their own values, and judgments, but also those of the various pre-Confederation
groups that existed in Canada. The examination of the origins, histories and movements of
peoples that influenced the foundations of Canadian Confederation will provide students the
opportunity to develop their own values while considering the historic values of others.
Challenging: The unit plan which I have established challenges the students on many levels. I
have structured the entirety of the unit to offer a balanced approach to learning and challenging
ways to get there. Throughout the unit I have organized several activities which have the
students take on a role/position and have them develop and defend it based on the material which
was the most meaningful to them. I challenge them to critically analyze primary and secondary
sources, and to question historical opinion to arrive at their individual and collective
understandings. The goal of establishing the unit in this manner is to offer the students
challenging ways of interpreting material to develop a conclusion.
Active: By organizing the material and lessons the way that I have, my goal is to encourage
active learning. The balance of lecture, group work, individual work, and discussion has been
carefully crafted to ensure the active participation of students. The learning activities devised
will also help to encourage active learning through the use of graphic organizers and guided
notes, students will be able to contribute informed and reasoned comments/opinions. Also, the
creation of action promotes investment in the material being presented which in turn helps to
solidify concept building and mastery.
The knowledge and skills which I am assuming are in place are that the students are able to
navigate certain technology, have developed some background on source analysis, and possess
skills in written and oral literacy. I also assume that the students have already developed a sense
of respect for each other as most of them have been in the school for a number of years together.
Although I have become familiar with the ethnic dynamic of the class, I will continue to
further explore that and keep the diversity of the students backgrounds in mind so that the
historical examination of certain events do not upset or offend any of them. Naturally all issues
of that type would be handled with extreme care, caution, and sensitivity, but in order to protect
the psychological safety of the students, ethnicity will certainly be taken into to specific
consideration during the exploration of certain topics.
In order to address any specific issues which may arise concerning family and
community, I will offer a balanced and contextual approach. Specific discussion surrounding the
issues will occur prior to the exploration of the topic, with an opportunity to ask questions
directly or anonymously to clear up any confusion and establish a fair and just knowledge base.
I will also consult with my TM and UC on advice on how to address a certain issue should it
arise.
Relevant ICT outcomes will be addressed through the completion of research and inquiry
using technology. In one particular activity the students will have the option of presenting their
point-of-view or portion of presentation using technology. They will also have the option of
using technology to craft and type their position paper.
The integration of other subject areas will be through the use of research and written
literacy. English will be incorporated as students must complete various written products
throughout the unit, and communications technology will also be integrated for the use of
research and product demonstration.
Individual differences will be accommodated for through the use of differentiated lessons
and activities. There will be opportunities for students to participate in group and individual
work, participate in presentations, either the development or speaking portion or both, and
various methods of formative assessment. For students who would rather write than speak, they
work with their group/partner to decide who does what in a fair and balanced manner. For
students who like to write or illustrate, options to do so will be provided. Also, those who prefer
group work as opposed to individual, or vice versa, will have opportunities to partake in both.
Those are the methods in which I plan to accommodate for individual differences.
I have constructed a unit plan which intends to construct meaningful learning experiences
for the students while addressing the learning outcomes stated in the program of studies. It will
challenge the conventions of learning and means to demonstrate learning by actively engaging
students and encouraging the reflection and development of values.
