What others are saying…
“We LOVED this unit in Grade 4 this year. We used the Haudenosaunee society as our model society before students did their own inquiries into societies of their choice.” – Meaghan S
“An excellent resource for the grade 4s! It is a great ‘jumping off’ resource for inquiry for the many societies. The large map is a great reference for the students while they put together their own.” – Debra B.
