Résumé

The Citizenship Resource is an instructor's resource for planning, developing and teaching lessons about Canadian citizenship concepts in LINC, ESL and citizenship preparation classes.

Background

The Citizenship Resource is an instructor's resource for planning, developing and teaching lessons about Canadian citizenship concepts in LINC, ESL and citizenship preparation classes.

Developed as a companion piece to the study guide Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship, the Citizenship Resource complements a series of CIC-funded resources for LINC programs:

The Citizenship Resource consists of seven chapters based on citizenship-related themes that reflect the overall organization and content of Discover Canada, the study guide that helps newcomers prepare to become Canadian citizens.

The chapters are:

  1. Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship
  2. Who We Are
  3. Canada's History
  4. Canada's Government
  5. Elections in Canada
  6. Canadian Symbols
  7. Canada's Regions and Economy

Each chapter consists of two parts:

  • a planning framework for CLB 1-8 that provides ideas and resources for planning and developing lessons using features of CLB-based and task-based instruction; and
  • a Sample Activitiessection with instructional tools illustrating the planning process presented in the framework. These tools include ready-made reproducible activities with audio material and related instructor notes.
