Who Belongs in Our Alberta Community? (Circle Chat) (10 min, whole class) 1. Gather students in a circle on the carpet. 2. Ask: "What is a community?" Take two or three answers. Guide toward: a group of people who live, work, or share something together. 3. Show a simple map of Alberta (or point to a wall map). 4. Say: "Alberta is home to many kinds of communities. Today we meet First Nations, Métis, Francophone, settler, and immigrant Albertans." ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632)) 5. Ask: "Can you name a group of people who make up Alberta?" Accept any reasonable answer (family, cultural group, town). 6. Tell students they will visit five learning stations about Alberta's peoples, then build a class "Community Quilt" together. > Keep this fast and welcoming. The goal is activating prior knowledge, not teaching content yet. If a child mentions their own family's heritage, thank them warmly and say we will hear more stories like that today. *Sources: [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47630)* ### 2. Alberta Peoples Stations: First Nations, Métis, Francophone, Settlers, Immigrants (22 min, small group) 1. Split the class into 5 small groups. Each group visits one station for about 4 minutes, then rotates (5 stations × 4 minutes = 20 minutes, plus 2 minutes to settle). 2. Station 1, First Nations: Show pictures of the Blackfoot Confederacy flag (tipi ring symbol) and Kapawe'no First Nation flag (standing bear). Say the words Cree (Nehiyaw), Blackfoot (Niitsitapi), and Dené aloud together. Tell students Alberta has 48 distinct First Nations communities.

Station 3, Francophone: Show the fleur-de-lis symbol. Explain French was the first European language spoken in Alberta, brought by Francophone missionaries, and that Francophone Albertans today come from many parts of the world. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47634)) 5. Station 4, Settlers: Show a simple picture of a prairie farm. Explain settlers came from many countries (Ukraine, the United States, China, and more) for free or low-cost farmland, and often faced isolation and language barriers. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47634)) 6. Station 5, Immigrants: Explain people still move to Alberta today for jobs, family, land, or safety, and share examples of communities such as Jewish, Chinese, Muslim, Arab, Hindu, Sikh, and Filipino Albertans. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47634)) 7. At each station, one adult or a student helper reads a short fact card aloud. Each group picks one word or picture to remember and draws it small on a sticky note. > Prepare 5 fact cards ahead of time with one image and 2-3 sentences each, matched to the steps above. If you cannot run five simultaneous stations, do this as one whole-class slideshow instead, spending about 4 minutes per group. Watch for respectful language when discussing cultures different from students' own. *Sources: [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47634), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47633)* ### 3. Build Our Community Quilt (10 min, whole class) 1. Bring groups back together. Show a large blank paper "quilt" grid on the wall (one square per station group). 2. Each group sticks their sticky note (from the stations activity) onto the quilt and says one sentence: "Our square shows ___ because ___." 3. Ask: "Why might it feel good to see many different squares on one quilt?" Guide toward: everyone's community adds something special to Alberta. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47633)) 4. Point out the finished quilt shows Alberta is made up of diverse, pluralistic communities. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632)) 5. Briefly mention: sometimes people have been treated unfairly because of their culture or how they look, and learning about each other helps build empathy and unity. Ask students how they can be kind to someone from a different background. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632)) > Keep the fairness discussion short, gentle, and hopeful. End on the empathy message so students leave feeling encouraged, not worried. *Sources: [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47633)* ### 4.

Show pictures or words for: mayor, reeve, Chief, premier, MLA, lieutenant-governor. Explain municipal leaders (mayor, reeve, Chief) look after towns, cities, and First Nations communities, while the premier and MLAs look after the whole province at the Legislative Assembly. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)) 3. Give each pair a small set of picture cards showing services: fire truck, library, hospital, school, provincial park, road, water tap. 4. Pairs sort each card into two piles: "Municipal (our town)" or "Provincial (all of Alberta)." Answers: municipal = fire truck, library, road, water tap; provincial = hospital, school, provincial park. ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47647), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)) 5. Quick check: ask two pairs to share one card and explain their choice. 6. Show the Alberta flag, coat of arms, wild rose, and the motto fortis et liber. Explain these are official symbols of Alberta's provincial government.

Correct sorting answers: fire truck-M, library-M, road-M, water tap-M, hospital-P, school-P, provincial park-P. Note both levels have elected representatives who meet to make decisions ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)). *Sources: [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47646), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47647), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)* ### 5. My One Kind Act for Our Community (6 min, individual) 1. Ask: "What is volunteering? What is charity?"

Ask students to think of one small action that could help their school or neighbourhood community feel safer, happier, or healthier. ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47652), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47654)) 3. Each student draws or writes their idea on an exit-ticket card (examples: pick up litter at the park, share toys, help a new student, collect food for a food bank). 4. Collect the cards as students leave, or post them on a class "Community Helpers" board. > This closes the lesson by connecting identity and government learning to action. Accept any safe, realistic idea. Some students may want to talk about donating versus volunteering; both are valid answers ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47654)). *Sources: [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47652), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47654)* ## Differentiation **Extension** - Ask early finishers at stations to compare two communities and name one similarity and one difference ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47633)). - Invite students to research one more Alberta government symbol at home and share it the next day ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)). - Challenge students to write a short sentence explaining why both volunteering and charity help a community ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47652), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47654)). **Support** - Provide picture-only fact cards at stations for students who need visual over text support ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47632), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47634)). - Pair emerging readers with a strong reader during the government sorting activity ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47647), [Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47645)). - Allow the exit ticket to be a verbal answer to the teacher or an educational assistant instead of writing ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47652), [Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/47654)). **Inclusive supports** - Use local First Nations languages and stories about symbols of diverse communities in Alberta to support student understanding. - Organize activities to help students explore stories about early settlers in the land now known as Alberta and reflect on personal connections to language and culture. - Invite, but never require, students to share personal family or cultural stories connected to the lesson content. ## Assessment **Formative.** During the stations activity, listen for each group correctly naming or pointing to one fact about their assigned Alberta community (First Nations, Métis, Francophone, settler, or immigrant).
