Classroom teachers from across Canada can use the activities in this package with confidence that they fit into curriculum objectives and expectations in all the provinces. More importantly they can plan to integrate these activities into a wide range of courses and know that they are helping students learn about current and significant topics as well as ‘covering' the requirements of the guidelines and policy documents. Each activity has overall references to curriculum connections and each has a link to a larger matrix that specifies which general expectations are accomplished by which activities.
