Unit Timelines and Lesson Plans (From Internship)
Internship, as most people know, is a fast-paced and messy time. Sometimes you get so busy that you are not able to write everything down in detail. The following Timelines and Lesson Plans are still messy, but they do show what I did and how that connected to the curriculums I was working with. The Timelines could certainly be used to create Year Plans.

Power and Authority in British Columbia (From 3rd Year)
Grade 9 Social Studies Unit Plan
This unit plan for Grade 9 Social Studies focuses on the Indigenous groups in British Columbia that never signed, or were offered Treaties. They faced much of the same discrimination and abuse as the groups that signed Treaties, yet it is often a shock for white Canadians to learn that Indigenous groups never ceded their land to the Canadian Government. This widespread lack of knowledge among settler Canadians is why I believe this should be a focus within Grade 9 Social Studies.
This unit asks questions such as: Who has the power?, Who has the authority?, How has the ownership of each changed and shifted over time?
ELA B10: Problem-Solution Essay (From 3rd Year)
This unit asks students to find issues that they are passionate about and convince readers that they need to be fixed. Through the use of a mentor text, students will be able to practice their writing skills for the final summative assignment, in which they will choose and address an issue in our world.
Students will answer questions such as: Why should everyone care about solving this issue?, What solutions do you propose for this issue?, Who/what does this issue impact?
Largely Teacher-Guided Plans for Starting a GSA in a Rural School (From 4th Year)
GSAs tend to be safe places for students to mostly chill out and exist with one another. If a school has students who want to be loud and proud allies and advocates, but need some basic knowledge, this plan is something you should look at and consider. Resources are linked in the document or are suggested as optional.
