Teach your students about Acadia with eleven learning stations and five optional stations/activities! Students will read, examine pictures and photographs, watch videos, and listen to music* as they learn about Acadian history, culture, language, and allies. This document has been adapted for Distance Learning and Online Learning. In a separate file within the zip file, I have made sure that there is a PDF version of the stations that has all the content in portrait-orientation. There is also a fillable PDF form for your students to use as a station response sheet (the amount of text that fits in each fillable box is limited). Of course, the original version is still included for when you go back to face-to-face learning and want to print stations and response sheets. **PLEASE NOTE** - If you are doing LEARNING ONLINE during the pandemic, please disregard my regular terms and conditions and feel free to share this document with your students and their families. This resource is designed for use in Canadian classrooms and thus focuses on aspects of Acadian history and culture that are related to Canada. These stations align with big ideas and content pieces from British Columbia's revised curriculum for Social Studies 5, Core French 5, and Arts Education 5 (see below). They also align with the cultural/historical sections of some of the Core French curriculum from grades 5-11. All texts and videos are in English except those where students have opportunities to listen to different dialects of French or hear music in Mi'kmaq. *Please note that headphones/earbuds and devices with internet access will be required for these stations. I have my students use QR codes on ipads. Smartphones or laptops could also be used. The following stations are included: Acadian History: Beginnings Acadian History: The Land and Sea Acadian History: Allies - The Mi'kmaq Acadian History: The Great Upheaval (often called The Deportation) Acadian Culture: Acadian French Acadian Culture: Religion Acadian Culture: Chiac - A Dialect of Acadian French Acadian Culture: Music and Dance Acadian Culture: Celebrations Acadia Today New France, Acadia, Quebec...
