Why teachers use these
Why Atlantic Canada teachers use these
The four Atlantic provinces build their curriculum around general and specific curriculum outcomes, but the person planning to those outcomes is usually carrying three preparations, a split class in a small rural school, or a course handed to them in late August. A full unit gives you the lesson plan, the slide deck, four levels of worksheet and the marking key in one file. Prep time then goes into swapping in local content, Grand Pré, the Miramichi, Signal Hill, instead of building scaffolds from nothing.
What's covered
What each download contains
Every unit is a complete teaching package rather than a loose worksheet, so a single download covers the whole sequence.
- Differentiated worksheets on four levels
- Editable PowerPoint slide deck
- Lesson plan with timings
- Full answer keys for marking
- Printable and digital versions
- Licensed for your own classroom
Make it work for everyone
Split classes, mixed readers and evidence
Because the four worksheet levels cover the same content, a Grade 7/8 split or a class with a wide reading range can work on one topic at four entry points and still discuss it together. The answer keys let you mark a set quickly, and the completed sheets file straight into a student's evidence folder for reporting.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Are these built for the Nova Scotia curriculum?
They are not an official Nova Scotia product and carry no endorsement from EECD or any provincial department. They are written to the concepts and skills the Atlantic curriculum covers, so most units map onto specific curriculum outcomes cleanly. Open the preview and check it against your Program of Studies before you plan the week.
Will the same unit work in New Brunswick, PEI or Newfoundland and Labrador?
Usually, yes. The Atlantic provinces share an outcomes framework and a lot of common ground in social studies and language arts, so a unit written for Grade 7 in Halifax normally lands in Moncton or Corner Brook with light edits. The files are editable Word and PowerPoint, so renaming outcomes or swapping in a provincial example takes minutes.
Can I keep using a unit next year?
Yes. Your purchase is licensed for your own classroom and you can reteach it every year, including the edited version you built. Download the files and keep a copy on your own drive rather than relying on a board account you may lose access to if you move schools.
