Unit Board Layout - Grade 4,5 Ss Strand A

This document outlines a unit of inquiry on heritage and identity. The central idea is that studying past cultures and traditions can help us better understand the present and connect with others. Key concepts explored are significance, interrelationships, perspective, cause and consequence, and continuity and change. Lines of inquiry include features of early societies from 3000 BCE to 1500 CE, interactions between First Nations and Europeans in New France and early Canada from 1500s to 1713, and how past and present societies impact beliefs and values. Students will consider whether they would stay or go if travelling to a past society.
