Product description
From the author
Use this 13-page planner to explore how previous generations connect with life today. It includes the central idea, key concepts, lines of inquiry, approaches to learning, a tuning-in picture-sort plan, six learning engagements, library-research guidance and closing reflection questions.
Prepare the pictures, objects, internet/library resources and video described in the plans. The download is a teacher planning guide with illustrative images, rather than a complete student-materials pack.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Understand the meaning of the word "generation."
Distinguish between past and present through pictures, objects, and personal experience (e.g., Kindergarten versus Primary 1).
Compare practices and behaviours from around the world to determine what has stayed the same or changed over time.
Teaching tips
Start with the prior-knowledge picture sort (cars, telephones, clothing) before introducing the unit's key concepts, since it is positioned as the tuning-in activity.
Use the mystery-box activity to open a lesson on past objects: students guess blind, then compare their guess to the revealed object before drawing how it looks today.
Pair the evolution-of-mankind video with a whole-class "what has changed over time" chart to consolidate the Change concept before the closing reflection.
Skills covered
Historical comparison — students sort and compare artifacts, images, and personal experiences to distinguish "past" from "present."
Research and inquiry — students use the internet and school library to investigate how a chosen object or practice has changed over time.
Perspective-taking — students examine global practices and behaviours to understand connections between local and global communities.
