Les bas du pensionnat written by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margret Pokiak-Fenton and illustrated by Liz Amini Holms depicts the struggles an Inuit girl experiences while attending a northern residential school.

This novel study unit was created to support a single novel read-aloud, should a class set be unavailable. Student work booklets have been designed to extend the understanding of each chapter. The unit has a duration of about three weeks, appropriate for grades 4-7 and integrates Language Arts and Social Studies learning outcomes.

Comprehension strategies used in this unit are: connection, visualization, question, infer, and transform.

REVIEWS:

"These activities were incredibly helpful when planning out our read-aloud unit for this challenging book. It helped highlight key information & facts that I wanted students to take away after during their listening. Thanks!" - Angela L

"I used this resource with my grade 5/6 French immersion class and I LOVED it. My students were so engaged throughout our novel study and the questions allowed for a variety of responses and creative expression. I also appreciate that this resource is aligned with the Reading Powers, which we had been practicing in the previous term. I would recommend this book and this resource to ANY teacher looking to engage their students in meaningful learning about Indigenous cultures and residential schools." - Mme TricoT

"Excellent French resource for this book!" - JL
