  • Many questions have more than one good answer. Accept any answer that makes sense and fits the idea.
  • After each answer, ask "Why do you think that?" Explaining matters as much as the answer.
  • Note which section was tricky, then revisit that lesson's activity.

For parents and teachers

Use mistakes to choose what to revisit. Each review section matches one lesson.

  • Mixes up roles and responsibilities, or thinks only adults have them: revisit My Roles and Responsibilities and redo the roles hand.
  • Unsure what a relationship is, or can't say how words and actions affect feelings: revisit People, Places and Things That Matter to Me.
  • Puts events out of order or can't explain how events change roles: revisit How Roles and Responsibilities Change and build a family timeline.
  • Thinks some people don't deserve respect, or forgets the environment: revisit Respect for Everyone and Everything.
  • Talks about Indigenous peoples only in the past, or mixes up First Nations, Métis and Inuit: revisit First Nations, Métis and Inuit Families and Communities and read a picture book by an Indigenous author together.
  • Asks yes/no questions or can't name a source: revisit Be a Social Studies Detective and do another family interview.

In social studies many answers are open-ended. Praise thoughtful reasons, not only "right" answers.
