Students love to be involved in hands-on activities that have a meaning beyond the four walls of their classroom. Such activities can offer almost unlimited scope for learning. With this kit, you can explore ethical and moral concepts using very specific "real life" situations. The activities focus on using the Toronto Star, and expand from there into reflections on their own lives and the lives of others. The situations are all very close to home, in terms of every day life, and the day-to-day decisions we must all make.
The kit activities allow you to meet selected curriculum requirements at the elementary level for grades five through eight. At the secondary level the activities focus on portions of the Canadian and World Issues, Philosophy, Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology courses. They also cover components of the Guidance courses and elements of the Teacher-Advisor program. The activities may also be used to cover selected components of the Grade 10 Canadian History and Civics courses. The writing components of the activities cover many of the skills requirements in the Social Studies and English curriculum.
