Unit Summary Overview Taken from the Program of Studies: Grade 5 students will examine how the ways of life of peoples in Canada are integral to Canadian culture and identity. They will explore the geographic vastness of Canada and the relationships between the land, places and people. As they reflect upon the stories of diverse Aboriginal, French, British and immigrant experiences in Canada over time, students will develop a sense of place and an awareness of how these multiple stories contribute to students’ sense of citizenship and identity. Key Terms and Concepts o Geography – la geographie o Natural resources – ressources naturelles o Environment – environnement o National parks – parcs nationaux o Diversity – la diversite o Landforms – reliefs o Geographical regions – regions geographiques o Climate – le climat o Natural disasters – catastophes naturelles o Sustainability – durabilite o Communities – les communautes o Preservation - preservation Unit Rationale In this unit, students will understand what physical and geographical characteristics define the Canadian Shield. They will explore the natural resources within the Canadian Shield and how important they are to the communities, and therefore how important is it to protect and maintain them. We will then discuss the major historical events that took place, and currently take place within the Canadian Shield The Canadian Shield – Le Bouclier Canadien 2 | P a g e General and Specific Learner Outcomes General Outcome : 5.1 L’élève fera preuve d’une compréhension et d’un discernement de la manière dont la géographie physique et les ressources naturelles du Canada affectent la qualité de la vie de tous les Canadiens. - Students will demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of how the physical geography and natural resources of Canada affect the quality of life of all Canadians. 5.2 L’élève fera preuve d’une compréhension et d’un discernement de la manière dont les récits reflètent la diversité des peuples, des modes de vie et du patrimoine au Canada.- Students will demonstrate an understanding of the people and the stories of Canada and their ways of life over time, and appreciate the diversity of Canada’s heritage. ** Many of the French oral, written, reading, and comprehension outcomes will be touched throughout this unit** Specific Outcomes Values and Attitudes Students will: 5.1.1 apprécier les caractéristiques physiques et le milieu naturel du Canada (value Canada’s physical geography and natural environment): • appreciate the variety and abundance of natural resources in Canada (ER, LPP) • appreciate the diversity of geographic phenomena in Canada (LPP) • appreciate the environmental significance of national parks and protected areas in Canada (ER, LPP) • appreciate how the land sustains communities and the diverse ways that people have of living with the land (GC, LPP) • appreciate the influence of the natural environment on the growth and development of Canada (LPP) • demonstrate care and concern for the environment through their choices and actions (GC, LPP) • appreciate the geographic vastness of Canada (LPP) 5.1.2 explorer d’un œil critique la géographie physique du Canada en étudiant les questions d’enquête suivantes et en y réfléchissant (examine, critically, the physical geography of Canada by exploring and reflecting upon the following questions and issues): • What are the major geographical regions, landforms and bodies of water in Canada?
