Are you looking for Grade 7 History lessons for the Ontario Curriculum?
I love teaching history and have created some engaging lessons for teachers required to teach this curriculum. When creating grade 7 history lessons, I think about how students learn best and what activities will engage students in their learning. These lesson plans are not worksheets. These grade 7 history lessons combine interactive activities, videos, readings and inquiry assignments.

Teacher Feedback
“I can’t say enough good things about this resource! This and the grade 8 history pack were some of my first TPT purchases and they were lifesavers. I was thrown into these classes that were using the same textbooks I had when I was a student. Thanks for all your hard work. The students loved the activities and the inquiry projects were essential in improving their presentation skills.”
