*Many teachers find materials suitable for a low 4 class.
Why BC, Canada? Why not Canada? We wanted to start with what was most immediate, and most relevant, to adult learners based in BC. While this book is an excellent resource for any ESL class in Canada, it does have a decided West Coast focus.
How to Use This Book Use BC, Canada as stand-alone units, or to supplement other units such as Canada Day, or travel in BC. There are several months' worth of material in the book at a variety of levels, allowing you to adapt it to your class' interests and level. Teach a BC travel unit using the BC, Ferry and Tourism sections or focus more on citizenship using BC, Canada, and Industries. Dive in for a look at Salmon as part of a unit on family or as part of a mini-unit on Wildlife. You'll love the variety and versatility.
Student Workbooks and CDs The teachers CD contains only the songs. The student CD contains in addition the dialogs and many of the readings. You can order a class set of student workbooks with CDs (or CDs only) at an exceptionally low cost so why do the photocopying yourself? Email us for a detailed table of contents for each level.

BC/Canada - 277 - www.successintesl.ca CANADA O Canada (National Anthem) 285 Song Strips for Level 1 Give each pair a set of song strips. Play the song, pausing after each line to check that Ss have found the right strip. 286 O Canada Handout for Level 1 287 O Canada Cloze for Levels 2/3 ( Page Saver) Review by singing every day, first with the text and then books closed, doing a disappearing whiteboard song. (Erase words and sing. Erase more and sing again.) 288 O Canada Handout for Levels 2/3 ( Page Saver) 289-290 O Canada: Crossword Puzzle and Answer Key Let Level 1 Ss do with their books open to the song. Regions, Provinces, Territories and Capitals 291 Map: Regions and Provinces of Canada (Answer Key p. 292) Intro and practice daily by 'playing the piano'. Canada Piano (mnemonic add-on): a) Have Ss place their hands on the table. Ask: How many provinces? Wiggle your fingers and say Ten. Say: This is Canada. Where is BC? Have Ss wiggle BC (the small finger on the left side). b) Teach the regions first, having them wiggle their fingers and say the name. For example, for the Prairies Ss wiggle the 3 middle fingers of their left hand. The Central Provinces are the 2 thumbs (the strongest fingers for the biggest provinces), while the East Coast is the four fingers of the right hand after the thumb: 1. N.B.; 2. Nfld/Lab; 3. PEI and 4. NS. For the North, point upwards with both hands. c) Review on day two and then add in the province names. Review by having the Ss practice in pairs. S1 asks, How many provinces are there in... Where is.. What is between /next to... etc.) S2 answers while playing the piano. After five to ten minutes have Ss switch roles. Teaching Hints: 1. Intro the regions and western provinces on day 1, and then review before continuing. With L. 1, don't bother teaching the provinces and capitals of the East Coast. (Day 1: regions, western provinces & capitals; Day 2: Central Canada & the North. Nunavut Song from p. 305-7. Day 3: Add E. Coast for Levels 2 & 3.) 2. After each session, add the new place names to the map on p. 291. Note for students: St. after a name is short for 'street' and St. before a name is short for 'Saint' as in St. John's, St. Paul's Hospital and St. Vincent Hospital.

Ocean-going ships from the Atlantic can travel almost halfway across Canada by water. Use a map to describe the route they take. From the Atlantic Ocean, they go down the _____________________ River, then through Lake ________________, Lake ___________________, Lake ______________________ and Lake ________________________. 9. Besides providing drinking water, transportation, and recreation, what else do our waterways give us? 10. What does Canada's motto, "from sea to sea", highlight? 11. Where does our local drinking water come from? 12. What special water limits do some municipalities have during summer months? 13. What are some ways to protect and conserve water? 14. How can recycling batteries preserve our water? Another example of intro questions to assess students knowledge and introduce them to the vocabulary and ideas in the reading. (L. 3 handout from Canada unit) BC/Canada 321 www.successintesl.ca Canadian Waterways Water has always been one of Canada's great natural resources. In fact, Canada has almost half of all the fresh water in the world. In the past, the first newcomers to Canada came by ship from Europe and settled along the St. Lawrence River. The lakes and rivers were their highways, allowing them to travel great distances by canoe. The longest river in Canada is the Mackenzie, which flows through the Yukon to the Arctic Ocean. However, it isn't the most important river. The St. Lawrence River joins the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, allowing ocean-going ships to travel almost half-way across the country. In addition to providing cheap transportation, it gives fresh water both for drinking and for the factories of Central Canada. Our rivers are also a major source of hydro-electricity, especially in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Manitoba. Canada's motto, "from sea to sea", not only hints at how large our country is, but also highlights the importance of our waterways to our way of life. Canadians are proud of their beautiful oceans, lakes and rivers. We are lucky to have a safe and reliable source of clean drinking water. It is everyone's job to keep our water clean and safe for the future.
Discussion Questions How is the water in your country compared to here? Some municipalities limit lawn watering during summer months. Contact your local city government or ask your neighbours to find out what the rules are in your city. You can help preserve our water by recycling batteries: keeping heavy metals out of the garbage keeps them out of the water system. How else can we protect and conserve water? What are some concerns about the international waters on our borders?

Give one A handout per pair to one side of the class and one B handout per pair to the other side. Have Ss do orally (no writing). 4. Give out the remaining handout and have students write. 5. Check the first few Ss who finish and then have them check the classmates around them. 6. Pair each A student with a B student. Model the activity. Ss take turns reading aloud the question, which their partner answers. NOTE: Students should give a true answer. 7. Give out the remaining handouts and have Ss do the other half as homework.
Level 3 Twist: Idiomatic Short Answers Have Ss answer using an idiomatic short answer by adding: a) in the middle: sure, certainly b) at the first of the phrase: Of course; as a matter of fact.
For example: Q: Is Nunavut in the Arctic? A: (Yes), it sure is.; It certainly is.; Of course it is.; As a matter of fact, it is. This should also be practiced with negative answers. Q: Does Canada have 11 provinces? A: No, it sure doesnt.; It certainly doesnt.; Of course it doesnt.; As a matter of fact, it doesnt.
Step by step instructions are given as necessary. Great for experienced instructors who want to try new techniques or newbies.

We live in Lower Mainland, in south-western corner of province of British Columbia. It's a beautiful place. In fact, some people think it is one of most beautiful places in Canada.
If you drive east, you go through Coast Mountains and come to Okanagan Valley.
Continue eastward and you will pass through Rockies. Next are Prairie Provinces: Alberta,
Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. If you continue on Trans-Canada Highway, you reach
Ontario. Here from highway you can see first of Great Lakes: Lake Superior. Great Lakes
are joined to Atlantic Ocean by St. Lawrence River. Ships from Europe and eastern United
States can bring goods halfway across Canada using this waterway, so it's very important to
economy of Central Canada. Of course, many people who live here like to travel west for their vacation to Gulf
Islands or Vancouver Island. It's full
of things to see and do. Others like
to go north to enjoy outdoor sports
or visit magnificent Queen Charlotte
Islands. Wherever you go, you are
sure to see some wonderful scenery. Students learn simple rules for some annoying grammar points! (This is a follow-up exercise, so they also have to remember the rule!) (L. 3 handout from Canada unit) BC/Canada 346 www.successintesl.ca Teaching Hints: Canada Fact Sheet* 1. Pre-Reading Give out one quiz per pair or group. Have the Ss answer (or guess the answer) to as many questions as possible. 2. Reading Exercise Give out the Fact Sheet H.O. (p. 348-9) and have Ss skim for the correct answers. 3. Follow-up: Discussion Questions/Points of Interest 1) For the section on population, discuss the reasons why. 2) For the section on water, pull out maps of Canada to illustrate #15, 17, 18, 19, and 23. 3) For the section on the economy, what are the two most surprising facts? Why is the U.S. our biggest trading partner? 4) Energy: Canada is a net exporter of energy, meaning we both export and import energy in different forms. Although Canada has large oil reserves, much of it is in the Alberta tar sands. Extracting it is expensive and environmentally damaging. 5) RE: #33. Although the federal government is officially bilingual, the provincial governments (except for New Brunswick) are not. 4. Contact assignment Have Ss ask a Canadian the questions. 5. Follow-up: Make Your Own Fact Sheet Have Ss work in groups to make their own fact sheets of interesting/amazing facts about: (a) Canada (ones not included on the page); (b) students in the class; or (c) their country. You can also have them compile an international fact sheet with each student contributing interesting facts about their country. Publish the results by posting the finished sheets in your room or in the school corridor, having the Ss give a presentation, or publishing a class booklet. If Ss present their amazing facts orally, have them also develop a handout for the class to do before the talk and then check as they listen. These can be multiple choice, true and false or comprehension questions. 6. Writing Exercise a) Using information from the fact sheet, have Ss write a paragraph or page about the topic. Discuss which information is best included in their story and how to group the information into paragraphs with a topic sentence. b) Have Ss compare their country to Canada, explaining some key differences. (Have them use some key phrases for comparing: like, unlike, surprisingly, comparatively, relatively, somewhat, rather, quite, unusually, rather, incredibly, noticeably, contrasting, distinct, dissimilar, similarly, in contrast, by contrast). c) Have Ss write an email to someone in their home country regarding some interesting facts about Canada.
*Also see Fact Sheet for BC. Lots of ideas on how to work with the materials, including contact assignments and writing exercises. (L. 3 handout from Canada unit) BC/Canada 347 www.successintesl.ca

BC/Canada 524 www.successintesl.ca BC, Canada for Literacy A number of pages in the section on personal information and BC, Canada have been adapted from Holidays for Literacy, by D.Bowler, successintesl. Jump ahead if your Ss have done this.
Personal Information 532 Personal Information Card Blank (for low literacy students) You will need 2 per student on card stock. Print their first and last name on one card, their address and city on another, and use the half card for their postal code and phone number. Note: You should print the cards to give them a model from which to copy: time-consuming, but very worthwhile. 533 Forms Introduce with question chains and big pictures (below). How to Do a Question Chain a) Hold up the picture and ask several Ss the question. b) Choral the question (= you say and they repeat). Hold up one finger for each word and point at it as you choral. c) Ask S3 the question and then say, "Ask Lee" (S4). After S4 answers, have them ask S5 (the student you designate). Always indicate a S on the other side of the room, so Ss keep their voices up and everyone stays alert. d) Have Ss ask their partner. e) Do steps (a) to (d) with each question. 534-542 Big Pictures 534 address 535 apt. number 536 BC 537 city 538 country 539 first name 540 last name 541 phone number 542 postal code 543 Trace: Last Name Level: Low Literacy Have Ss trace with their fingers first as you choral the words. 544 Phonics: Words with P Student Handout a) On the board intro words sound by sound. Write the sound and have Ss say, then write the next sound and have Ss say them together, etc. For example: er-per-aper-paper. Each time hold up the item or picture. More examples: ea-lea-plea-please; o-sho-shop-shopping. b) Have Ss do the worksheet and then choral the words (=you say and Ss repeat). What is your name?
Annotated Index from the Literacy unit gives detailed how to instructions.
BC/Canada 525 www.successintesl.ca 545 Student Information Worksheet Day 2 Follow-up. Do as an individual worksheet or have Ss interview a partner. 546 Mixer: What is your phone number? Check to see if your group are familiar with numbers first. If not, see our numbers workbook: "Bingo Plus!" 547 Student Board Game Worksheet Preparation for p. 549. a) Choral first the phrase and then the whole question. b) Have Ss ask and answer orally in pairs. c) Have Ss write their answers. 548 Phonics: Words with P Pair Cards ( Page Saver: 1 per pair) a) Intro: do a few words on the board. Do a front or back build-up to teach Ss how to sound out the word. Write 'ar' and have Ss say it. Then add the 'p' for 'par' and have Ss say it, etc: ar-par-part-apart-apartment. Do with a number of words they know. b) Model: Ss should place deck face down on the table. They turn over one at a time and sound out (not just quickly say) the words. Work with your lowest group of Ss, use a blank paper that you slowly move over the word to uncover each sound as they sound it out. c) Repeat the following day. 549 Personal Information Board Game ( Page Saver: 1 per pair) Have Ss play in pairs. S1 rolls the die and asks the question related to the picture on which they land. Then S2 rolls the die, etc. 550 Mixer: What is your address? For this Ss must be able to pronounce and spell their address. 551 Simple Forms 552 Speeding (Words with P) a) On the overhead, slowly uncover as you tell the story, eliciting where possible. Give out the HO and choral (= you say and Ss repeat). b) Practice the dialog. (Choral. You do A and Ss do B, switch, pairs) c) Have Ss circle the words with P and copy them on the lines. For C, let Ss copy words from the pair cards from p. 548. 553 Paying a Speeding Ticket Follow-up to p. 552. Do it together, eliciting where possible. Have them pay the ticket Literacy sections include: Personal Information, The Lower Mainland, B.C., and Canada Not from B.C.? This still gives a great model to adapt for your province.
