Hello Amazing Fellow Educators!
I graduated with a Master of Arts in Child Study and Education and teaching specialization in French as an Additional Language from the University of Toronto in June 2022. My resources aim to make students´ learning of the English, French, and Spanish languages authentic and fun, emphasizing the essential language acquisition skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Students can practice their written and reading comprehension skills through reading short texts and answering questions about them.

This lesson is aligned with the unit on talking about sports for Year 9 GCSE French (foundation).
This cross-curricular social studies unit aims to inspire responsible citizenship in promoting environmental sustainability. By integrating the social studies inquiry process with the language, visual arts, science, and mathematics curriculum, students can develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence in taking responsible action and participating in environmentally sustainable practices within their school community and beyond. This unit consists of eleven engaging lessons organized into two sections - awareness and action. The purpose of the first six lessons is to have students reflect on their perspective of and relationship to the environment. The awareness section also focuses on building a collective awareness of the principles of environmental sustainability. The remaining five lessons are structured to mobilize students to take action on an environmental issue of interest that was explored at the beginning of the unit (see Unit Overview Chart).
Note: The lessons in this unit plan are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum expectations.*
