Canadian History Sub Plans

Canadian history sub plans can be a challenge to find. You want to ensure that engaging and relevant lessons are left for your students when you are absent.

Sometimes you can have the substitute teacher continue on with your regular lessons, but other times the material cannot be left for someone else to teach. In those instances use one of these sub plans. These sub plans relate to significant and exciting times for Canada.
