Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Alberta is a Mini Unit. Our Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. In contrast, Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
What is this unit about? Take a journey through Alberta with our 10-lesson mini unit! Designed for geography and social studies, this adventure encourages students to compare Alberta's history, topography, industry, economy, and politics with their own region, no matter where they live. Each lesson offers insights into Alberta's rich history, stunning landscapes, unique flora and fauna, key industries, and remarkable individuals who shaped its identity.
The student books feature two pages per day, making it easy to fit into whatever you are currently doing. Students will create a timeline of Alberta's history and choose a project, like a tourist brochure or a website, to showcase the province's attractions and history. Daily prompts will guide students in adding information that involves critical thinking and global awareness from the lessons to their projects.
