CHV2O Complete Course: Grade 10 Civics and Citizenship

A complete, ready-to-teach half-credit Civics and Citizenship course (CHV2O, 55 hours). Every lesson is 75 minutes. The course has 34 lessons plus flexible classes for summative work, presentations and review, so it fits a half semester or a full semester paired with another half credit.

Every unit ends with an assessment of learning and a four-level rubric, and all scenarios, data and examples are original. Politically neutral throughout: parties and positions are described evenly, no current leaders or seat counts are named, and students may argue any side.

Teaching outside Ontario?

A half-credit civics course: democratic values, how Canada's federal, provincial, municipal and Indigenous governments work, the Charter and human rights, and a civic action project. It fits civics or citizenship units in any Canadian province. The inquiry skills and civic action project work anywhere, but the government content is Canadian. Everything comes as editable Word and PowerPoint files, so you can replace the Ontario expectation codes with your own standards and adjust the evaluation plan to your school's rules. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
