Educational Resources

Welcome to Work Through Time’s Educators’ page. Below you will find twelve lesson plans for grades primary to eight based on Specific Curriculum Outcomes (SCO) in the Atlantic Provinces. Each lesson addresses multiple SCOs, acknowledging the multidisciplinary nature of today’s classroom.

The lessons, based on stories found within the site, include an overview of the relevant story, identification of targeted SCOs, a suggested materials list, issue backgrounder, implementation strategy, follow-up enrichment activities, evaluation rubrics and links to related content on other sites. Lessons can be executed in classrooms with or without computer and Internet access.

It is our hope that these lesson plans will enable educators to easily incorporate the wealth of narratives, reflections, visual materials and archival documents on this site into the classroom, providing students with the opportunity to learn about the rich history of work, and its relation to culture, family and the environment, in Eastern Canada.

After implementing the lesson plans we encourage you to submit your students’ work to the site. On the Your Work Through Time page you can upload students’ assignments and artwork that reflect the stories and digital artifacts on Work Through Time: Cape Breton Stories of Land and Sea and help them to share their own stories with the world.
