Here is my tried and tested Grade 6 French Immersion unit on flight. This ready-to-use unit includes a historical overview on flight, the theoretical aspects of flight, comprehension questions, reflection questions and research questions. I have included two research tasks that I get students to do (rubrics and checklists included), I have also included weekly homework questions.
This unit is also sensitive to other cultures as I have tried to include historic figures from different cultures and times in my historical overview of flight.
Overall, my students have greatly enjoyed this unit. I end this unit with a culminating project on flight that is also available at my TPT store.
