Some of the sessions that you book will require additional preparation prior to
engaging in the session. For example, in our Voting Rights Through Time and
Elections Canada session, we were mailed a booklet of materials alongside a
teacher's guide, which provided background information for teachers, and an
overview of the resources and materials that would be used during the
session.
This session required me to review the teacher guide to understand how the
resources would be used in the session and have stations or groups prepared
for students prior to dialling in. This was a topic that we were covering in our
grade 10 Social Studies Governance and Leadership unit, so we had reviewed
content connecting to the topic of voting through history ahead of this session
to ensure students understood the topic at hand.
Below is a photo of the Elections Canada resources and teachers guide, that
were provided prior to our session on Voting Rights Through Time.
