Indigenous Peoples is focused on Canadian first peoples (though so much of the stories are intertwined with the USA as well). This unit doesn't hide from anything, we talk about residential schools, reconciliation, cultural appropriation, bias and prejudice, racism, and so much more! Filled with rich discussions and an opportunity to learn more about our past, I personally recommend that every family in Canada and the United States does this unit to broaden their understanding of some of the residual ripples that are still felt to this day. We will dig into the history of Indigenous Peoples of Canada to current time! You don't want to miss this one! From history to residential schools to modern advances and social implications, this is deep and wide my friends!
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil bound.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
