Written by Nick Newbery Published by Branch 168 Royal Canadian Legion, Iqaluit 2004 In 2004 these ten junior high resource manuals, supported by a variety of videos, were placed in all Nunavut schools with junior high classes. They offer relevant, field-tested units developed especially for use with Nunavut students in both regular classes and in remedial literacy programs. Because they have proved popular with teachers and students these resources have now been made available on the Nunavut Teachers’ Association website. The manuals, endorsed by the GN, come in ready-to-use format thus giving teachers practical, badly-needed, northern-related ESL resources in fundamental areas while providing students with attractive, culturally-appropriate materials. They are backed by a variety of exercises, activities and films which complement the Department of Education’s programming while easing the workload of teachers by offering ready-to-download-and-use projects over a broad range of subject areas. Note that all materials are copyrighted to the original owners. All films are the ones originally used. Some may seem older but are still appropriate. The manuals and videos are as follows: |
