Lesson 5- How Saskatchewan Lives off the landName: Robin Tuck Date:Subject: Social Studies- Dynamic Relationships Grade: 3 Length of Lesson: 40 minutes Learning Objective: The students are introduced to the resources we have and use here in Saskatchewan, they will be required to investigate why we have these resources, and the importance of them in our communities. Teaching Instructional Strategies: Reading storiesTechnologyResearchLarge and independent work Representation using choice for mediums Outcomes: DR3.3 Compare the beliefs of various communities around the world regarding living on and with the land. DR3.2 Assess the degree to which the geography and related environmental and climatic factors influence ways of living on and with the land.DR3.1 Use various model representations of the Earth.Indicators: b. Identify ways in which people in communities studied interact with the land (e.g., meeting needs and wants, how land is protected or neglected).a. Identify the influences that geography has on societies (e.g., location of settlements, transportation of goods and people, types of industry such as farming, ranching, forestry, mining, tourism, and manufacturing).d. Locate and identify countries or regions studied on a map or globe.Cross Curricula Competencies: Goals to develop thinking: Students learn to think of where we live as more than just a province, they are able to think of Saskatchewan as a place of resources, and the land has value.Goals to develop Identity and Interdependence: Students learn the respect that we have to give to the land, in order for the land to give back to us. The way we interact with land has value. Goals to develop Literacies: Students will learn about Saskatchewan’s resources, by reading stories, as well as internet research. Goals to develop Social Responsibility: Students learn that their interactions with the land have interdependent effects and that is why they need to be moral in their actions in which will have consequences for humans, plants, and animals. Interdisciplinary Connections: EAL- CR3.3 Listen to and understand information, identify main ideas and supporting details, compare different ideas and points of view, and explain connections made between texts heardEAL- CC3.3 Speak to present ideas and information appropriately in informal (e.g., interacting appropriately with others to share ideas and opinions, complete tasks, and discuss concerns or problems) and some formal situations (e.g., giving oral explanations, delivering short, simple reports, demonstrating and describing basic procedures) for different audiences and purposesHealth- DM3.1 Demonstrate the importance of investigating information for making informed decisions related to healthy foods and physical activity, one’s “inner self”, helpful and harmful substances, healthy family and home, safety at home, and impact of violencePrerequisite Learning: We live in SaskatchewanHow to use technology to researchWhat a resource is Adaptive Dimension: If need be students can work in small groups to assist each other in the learning process.At this time no other adaptations are needed. However this section will be adapted to the needs of individual classrooms. MaterialsSmart BoardAerial picture of SaskatchewanDevices for each child. Materials for documentation Land of the living skies book PreparationEnsure all devices are charged and have access to the internetProvide students with a list of resources they can access for researchPut aerial picture of Saskatchewan on the smart board Have land of the living skies ready to read to the students Presentation:Set (10 minutes):Have a aerial picture of Saskatchewan up on the smart boardAsk the students “What is this?” if need be prompt the students to say Saskatchewan ?Read the story “Land of the Living Skies” by Linda Aksomitis.Development (25 minutes):The students will then have access to books, as well as technology devices The students will research what types of resources, food, oil, and mine here in Saskatchewan. The students will then begin to investigate how our physical location in Canada affects the types of resources we have here in Saskatchewan compared to other parts of the country. The students will also address issues of how we are protecting or hurting the environment by the way we use our resources. Children will have access to demonstrate their understanding of the resources we have in Saskatchewan in any way they see fit. The students will be given a time warning, to form their understanding (so the students will know they do not have time to make a music video. Will be encouraged, to represent using drama, illustrations, written word, pome, word cloud, ext.) (Students will be directed towards this link: This link is interactive and provides a easy to negotiate site for children to learn about the resources we have here in Saskatchewan.) Teaching Notes:Ensure students are using their time effectively. Ensure students are exploring both print and online resources.Closure (5 minutes):As a large group we will discuss some of our findings. The students will then use fist of five to describe what they have learned about the resources we have in Saskatchewan. Class Management:Because students have free choice on the documentation of their research some students may struggle with how to document, therefore, students will be given suggestions on what to useStudents will be able to wear earphones if that will help them concentrate while using their device. Extension:- Students can examine specific areas of Saskatchewan and distinguish how the resources differ in different parts of the province. Assessment:Fist of five- Students will raise 1-5 fingers to demonstrate their understanding of the resources that we have here in Saskatchewan (5- I know it so well, I could explain it to anyone, 4- I can do it alone, 3- I need some help, 2- I could use more practice, 1- I am beginning to understand).

On the smart board will be instructions to make a poster to encourage people to stop using their fossil fuels. (An example of this may be to stop driving cars, and walk or use public transportation)Included on their poster, must be what they want people to stop doingWhy they want people to stop doing this actionThe environmental affect that this action has on our atmosphere and the way we live off the landAlternatives people can use. The children will be told that they will be presenting their posters to the class. Teaching Notes:Offer students ideas when they are stuck, or in need. Bring students attention to understanding why it is important for both our community, as well as others around the world to reduce our fossil fuel emissions. Closure (5 minutes):-The students will think pair share two ideas that they have learned by doing this poster that they did not know previously. Class Management:Students will be interactive throughout the class. Students will lead most of the class with their incites, as well as their ideas. Extension:-Students can discuss strategic places to post these posters so they will be the most effective. They will be able to think about posting these posters in front of our classroom going to cause a change, or is posting them by doors, outside, or on billboards more effective?*If students finish early they can begin to write a speech as to what they will talk about on their poster* Assessment:-Students poster will be assessed the rubric provided.

I will then inform the students of a farmer coming in to talk to our class about how farming impacts the land Development (20 minutes): As a class to prepare for this guest speaker (expert) we will create a KWL chartEach student will write as many things that they know about farming on their sticky notes. After about 5 minutes of brainstorming ideas the students will come up to the board (in small groups) and place their understandings of farming and the impact it has on land under the K section. After all students have placed their knowing’s in the appropriate section we, as a class will discuss what we already know. Then as a large group we will discuss what we want to know. And why it’s important to know this information. Teaching Notes:- Ensure the farmer has all the materials that he needs, and send them an email before he arrives. Closure (5 minutes):- As an exit slip the students are required to write 1 or more questions that we can ask the farmer the next day when he comes in to talk to our class. Class Management:- Students will the leaders of this lesson, thus they will have a lot of responsibility.
