Grade 6 Year Plan.doc

This resource is to support the Student vote for the Federal Election. Students are divided into groups to explore the platforms of SIX federal political parties and their leaders. Students are then asked to present their findings as a jigsaw and be able to formulate their opinions and beliefs. Later, students will then use the Youth version of the Vote compass to solidify where they stand on the political spectrum.

Timeline: 1 Week to explain, model research and gather information, 1 week to design, create and present. In a group of two, research, design, create and present a parade float of any country with your group. Your Float should be made out of a shoebox or other small box. Parade floats are beautiful and colorful, so be creative! Use tissue paper, construction paper, etc to cover all sides of your box. Models, pictures or figures can be added to add interest and creativity. Put your float together carefully. You must also include a small write up to go along with your float explaining your choices for the float. ­(One well explained reason for each element… Use the word because)
