Task: Write a single paragraph that includes three topic sentences to support a main idea. Instructions: 1. Divide your group into three teams. 2. Select one team member to act as the editor. 3. Select one team to create the main idea, the second team to brainstorm 3 topic sentences that support the main idea, and the third team to develop each of the 3 topic sentences. 4. Each team should discuss and review the topic sentences, ensuring that the logic and flow of each sentence logically supports the main idea of the paragraph. 5. Once all team members have agreed on the final versions, the editor should write out the full paragraph, including all 3 topic sentences. 6. Finally, all of the group members should read the whole paragraph together to make sure that it's complete, logical, and consistent.
Objective: Students will be able to describe the structure and function of the circulatory system and identify relevant connections and examples to First Nations cultures in Alberta. (Alberta Education Science 30 Curricular Outcomes: SCI30-2, SCI30-3, SCI30-6) Lesson: 1. Introduction (5 min): Begin the lesson by introducing the topic of the circulatory system, asking the students what they already know about the system and framing the purpose of the lesson. Explain how the circulatory system is a vital system in the human body, responsible for the transport of oxygen, carbon dioxide, electrolytes, and hormones, as well as removing waste from the body. 2. Explanation (15 min): Explain the basics of the system, which is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and the blood itself. Describe the pathway of the blood throughout the body, beginning with the heart. Show an illustration of a heart and label the parts (For example, right and left atrium and ventricles, aorta, and pulmonary artery). Ask the students to describe the role of each part of the heart in the system. Then, explain that the path of the blood includes arteries, which carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, and veins, which carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Highlight the importance of the valves within veins and arteries, and the role they play in facilitating the flow of blood. You can finish by introducing the lymphatic system (which is sometimes considered part of the circulatory system, though it does not involve red blood cells), and how it works with the cardiovascular system to recycle interstitial fluid and remove metabolic wastes from tissues. 3. First Nations Connection (5 min): Introduce the connections between First Nations cultures and the circulatory system. You can discuss the use of traditional medicines such as sweetgrass and sage and the ways these can be used to promote circulatory health. Additionally, talk about traditional diets and how particular foods can be beneficial for a healthy circulation. 4. Closure (5 min): Discuss the importance of the circulatory system and health decisions that can be taken to ensure its efficacy and efficiency. Ask the students to summarize the main points from the lesson, and to think about ways in which their decisions may impact their own circulatory health. 5. Assessment (Optional): Students can complete a short quiz to assess their knowledge of the circulatory system. Alternatively, the students can complete a creative project that explores the connections between First Nations cultures and the circulatory system.

Overview of System Programming A. Definitions and Fundamentals (5 min) B. Types of System Programming (5 min) II. Practical Application of System Programming A. System Programming Languages (5 min) B. System Calls (10 min) III. Examples of System Programming in Computer Engineering (15 min) Questioning: Students will answer questions to better understand the concept and its practical uses. Examples of questions could include: 1. What is the definition of system programming? 2. What are the different types of system programming? 3. What makes up system programming languages? 4. What are some examples of system programming in computer engineering? Assessment: At the end of the lesson, students will write a essay about their understanding of system programming and how it is implemented in computer engineering. Differentiation: For visual learners, provide a diagram showing the different types of system programming. For auditory learners, provide a video recording of the lesson, allowing students to watch and repeat the concepts themselves. For kinesthetic learners, have them find examples of system programming in engineering by doing a hands-on activity completing a worksheet.

This morning starter activity will help introduce the book, Tiddler, to your Primary 1 students. First, start off the activity by asking the students what they think a tiddler is. Give them a few hints and discuss the possibilities together. Next, show the students the book cover and ask what they think the book is about based on the cover and the title. Encourage them to make predictions about the characters and the plot. Then, read a few pages to the class, making sure to pause for discussion during the most important parts. Ask the students what they think will happen next. Finally, use the story of Tiddler as a springboard to talk about the importance of being brave and facing one's fears. Ask the students how they would face Tiddler's challenges. By the end of the morning starter activity, your students will have a better understanding of Tiddler and the importance of facing one's fears.
