How to use these learning activities?
The learning activities are intended for students in kindergarten through grade 8 who attend French-language schools.
Activities are sorted by subject and learning field. You can select them according to learning objectives.
We suggest that an adult first review the content of the activity before presenting it to the student. This helps to understand the activity, anticipate questions, and initiate discussion.
Structure of these learning activities
The activities are divided into three sections:
- The Welcome section presents:
- the learning topic;
- the learning outcome(s);
- reflective questions to activate student knowledge.
- The Learning section:
- presents information to support learning about the topic at hand through video viewing or virtual book reading;
- engages students in their learning through observation.
- The Taking Action section engages students in a concrete and authentic learning situation that allows them to:
- explore and apply the subject at hand;
- consolidate their learning;
- evaluate themselves.
The time required to complete assignments may vary depending on the student and the subject.
Key Vocabulary
Key vocabulary words identified in the learning activities indicate key terms and concepts that students should be able to identify and understand as they progress through the subject matter. These are the words used in the Ontario curriculum.
For education staff
These learning activities are a great way to encourage different educational approaches! They are designed to support teachers in their teaching and planning of learning activities.
These interactive learning activities can also be used in the classroom on the interactive whiteboard (IWB) and in the learning centre with digital tools.
If you teach in a public school of Ontario, you can access the activities, the teacher’s guide, the instructional sheets and the related authentic projects, through your school board’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). You can then download a module or mission in your virtual classroom.
