Overarching Essential Question: How have events, factors, and individuals in Canadian
history shaped how Canada is seen today?
Lesson Guiding Questions:
Lesson 1: What are the key components of conducting a successful interview?
Lesson 2: How have historical events in your familys history shaped who you are as an
individual?
Lesson 3: How were the actions of the Famous Five relevant in Canadian history?
Goals: This lesson meets the overall goals of the overarching question as it gets students to first
think about their identity, and what has happened in their family that has affected their own
identity. By doing this on a smaller scale, it will be easier for students to connect to different
events, factors and individuals that have impacted Canadas overall identity when discussed in
class.

family, and therefore have impacted their identity.

Assessment:
Formative:
Reviewing the students notes
Circulating the classroom while students are in think, pair, share to ensure they are staying on
task.
Teacher can carry around a clipboard and take notes on how students are contributing to their
discussions.
By asking the pairs to generate a question to share with the class, the teacher is able to use this as
a formative assessment to see if they can create a good thoughtful question.
Ask for one question from each group to enforce input and to create a master list of interview
questions
Summative:
Major summative assessment would be at the end of the unit.
Accommodations/Modifications:
Technology: Can interview using video and if that is not easily accessible, then the use of pencil
and paper will suffice
If some students are illegible, they may have the option of typing their interview up on a
computer
Extension and extra time activity:
Writing a reflection on how the lesson/interview went for them and how it connects to shaping
your personal identity.
Ask Have these events that have affected your family also affected how you now look at your
own identity?
