Our Canada: The Stories That Made Us

Big Question: Whose stories made Canada, and why do they still matter?

31 lessons 2 flex days ≈ 8 weeks at 4 periods/week 21 / 21 Strand A expectations planned ~50-min periods

Finish line: a real book in our school library

Every student writes one 1–2 page chapter about a community or person who shaped Canada. The class publishes it as Our Canada, Vol. 1 and launches it in the library. Lessons 1–20 fill each student's field journal with one page per lesson, so by Lesson 22 everyone has a bank of ideas to pick from.
