This engaging activity includes:

  • understanding how social classes are an example of inequality
  • Divine Right of Kings and the Absolute Monarchy
  • documents and legislation that protected democratic principles: The Magna Carta (1215), The Habeas Corpus Act (1679), The Bill of Rights (1689)
  • pillars of democracy: equality under the law, justice, freedom and representation
  • detailed lesson plan with easy to read formatting.
  • instructions for how to use our activities with or without technology so you can be flexible for your students and classroom environment.
  • instructions for printing student workbooks while still offering differentiated options.
  • a variety of activities that keep students engaged while learning.
  • detailed outlines of each activity with a list of materials along with a centralized list and reminders in each section of the lesson plan.
  • optional Teacher Slides to support instruction and content delivery. You can choose to teach with or without them.
  • vocabulary list with phonetic pronunciations and definitions to help support your students.
  • “I can” statements written in student-friendly language so students can self-assess their learning.
  • simple quizzes and assessment activities to see what students have learned.
  • modifications to help you differentiate without spending more of your time.
  • answer keys and suggested answers.
  • digital versions of most of the student pages to help support your students or reduce printing. To access the digital version, download the PDF and use the link inside that file.
  • loose text in the digital version which can be read by your assistive technology. This is especially helpful since some of the text may be beyond the Grade 6 reading level (especially at the beginning of the school year).
  • list of Alberta outcomes broken down by activity.
