This integrated resource offers a broad range of Canadian selections complemented by a variety of First Nations, Métis and Inuit and multicultural perspectives. It provides a variety of opportunities for students to experience the six language strands and to use them across the disciplines. The student anthology contains a main table of contents organized thematically and an alternate table of contents organized around broad topics. The activity-based anthology is organized into six main units: Personal Focus, Science and Technology, Media Perspectives, Issues and two genre units: Short Stories and Essays. Each unit features a unit-at-a-glance page that identifies key learning outcomes and provides end-of-unit reflection activities that form the basis for formative evaluation. There are cross-curricular links throughout.--Ministry of Education website.
