I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of late nights and copious amounts of coffee, however sometimes it just has to be done to get the work completed! This is exactly what happened with this Unit Plan, my group and I have been working diligently to ensure that this document we've worked so hard on is complete.I'm very proud of what we've accomplished and I hope that everyone who accessed this also finds our material useful in the Grade 8 Intermediate Classroom!
Our PowerPoint Presentation can be accessed here.
Our Unit Plan can be accessed here.
The fundamental components behind our unit revolve around Grade 8 Geography Curriculum Strands A and B:
- A: Global Settlement: Patterns and Sustainability
- B: Global Inequalities: Economic Development and Quality of Life
The main idea behind our unit is What is a liveable city? and to allow students to think about the factors surrounding the quality of life and economic development locally and globally.
The culminating task behind this unit is to allow students to demonstrate their understanding of key topics within the unit by creating their own neighbourhood and presenting their neighbourhoods to the class. This task involves extensive reflection and planning! You'll be able to see how through the Unit Plan Overview once again provided here.
Please feel free to post any questions or comments below! This unit is something that I believe to be relevant to current conversation, and I hope you find it equally as beneficial and applicable to the classroom.
