Modern Challenges of the US & Canada | Interactive Lesson Grades 6-8
High living standards do not erase hard choices. This interactive lesson takes grades 6-8 through modern challenges shared by the United States and Canada: income and education pressures, globalization and offshoring, multicultural immigration and equal opportunity, Indigenous land and rights, climate change, water scarcity, and oil sands vs forests. A mini-game is built into the lesson so students play through the content between readings and tasks. No prep beyond a short hook and exit ticket - both are in the pacing guide. One class passcode opens the portal lesson on pastportclass.com. No student accounts required.
