Thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to enhance and refresh New Brunswick curriculum materials.

In all levels of Chemistry 121/2, the expectation is that educators will adjust course material in breadth, depth, and scope of inquiry dependent on the level of curriculum delivery. The goal for learners is to demonstrate critical thinking and enact skills relevant and necessary to the learning area. The level 1 course is not different in the number of skill descriptors; rather, there are increased expectations in the level 1 course in terms of depth of understanding, and learner self-efficacy. Educators should provide more opportunities in the level 1 course to participate in higher-order thinking activities.

Character Creation

These lessons will give students the opportunity to express themselves through creative writing. It will begin by exploring the concepts of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. The lesson will then focus on building characterization for an assigned ‘character card’ through brainstorming and note making. Students will examine exemplars of other creative writing and will then draft their own content. They will work through an editing and revision process and then will submit. The final stage of this unit is to practice presentation skills and then present their content to the class.
