Unit 12 — All of Me, All of Us
Overview
This unit gathers the year together, building on Grade 6’s closing celebration. Learners reflect on how their identity has changed over time and predict the ways it may keep growing, reflect on a past decision and its consequences to make a better choice next time, and name the routine — study, sleep, movement — they will carry forward to support their goals. They explain how communities change over time and why change can be both hard and good, organize or join a mutual-aid action in their school or community, and reflect on the motives for helping — care, duty, or recognition. They celebrate each whole person, the caring community they have built, and the living Earth — and look ahead to Grade 8, where multiple and intersecting identities, the separation of event from thought from feeling, and deliberate management of impulse will carry the same questions further.
Essential questions
