Teach each unit based on THEME, starting backwards.

For example, when we teach , as a sub-topic of social change, we could start by investigating
current feminist issues (i.e. glass-ceiling, double-day, etc.). This opens up the potential for
students to formulate questions relevant to her-story, feminism and womens rights throughout
Canadian history. We are also hoping that students make a stronger connection to history by
not only a theme approach (as opposed to the chronological), but see the relevance in todays
world right from the start.

Select the highly relevant events, people, ideas throughout native history.
Working backwards might actually allow us to prioritize and cover more ground in the curriculum
than before. We could decide together as a department what the subtopics will be and relevant
events, people, and ideas (and trying to represent each time frame in the curriculum).

The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9, 10 and 11, identifies four major categories of knowledge and skills which
are the basis for assessment and evaluation in this course. Level 3 represents the provincial standard. Each
unit will include a variety of formative assessment activities from the four major categories that provide
students with the tools and the practice required to demonstrate their learning in Summative Assessment
activities that culminate each unit and form 70% of the final mark. A final summative project and/or
examination which includes the four categories of Knowledge/Understanding, Thinking/Inquiry, Communication
and Application will result in 30% of the final mark. The credit may be withheld until satisfactory completion of
the summative. Learning skills (Independent Work, Collaboration, Responsibility, Organization, Initiative, and
Self Regulation) are assessed separately with a letter symbol: E, G, S, N.)
