Grade 9 Social Studies FREE Glossary - CITIZENSHIP theme of the NEW Alberta Curriculum

A free, complete vocabulary resource for Alberta's brand new Grade 9 Social Studies Citizenship unit.

Alberta's new Grade 9 Social Studies curriculum introduces an entirely new Citizenship segment — and an entirely new body of academic vocabulary students need to master in order to read, discuss, and write fluently about Canadian citizenship, rights, and constitutional history. This 19-page booklet gives you all 66 key terms from the Citizenship unit in one ready-to-use resource, completely free.

This isn't a stripped-down teaser. It's a genuine, standalone teaching tool you can use as a pre-reading vocabulary primer, a stand-alone mini-unit, or an ongoing reference students keep in their binder throughout the Citizenship segment.

What's inside:

• 66 key terms spanning citizenship status and immigration classes, constitutional history (patriation, entrenchment, the amending formula), the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the people and events that shaped Canadian rights (the Persons Case, the Famous Five, the October Crisis, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords)
• Student vocabulary sheets for independent research and definition-writing
• A complete answer key with accurate, curriculum-matched definitions for every term
• Clean, alphabetized layout for quick reference

With resources for the new Alberta curriculum still extremely scarce, this booklet fills a real gap — and pairs perfectly with our full Grade 9 Social Studies Citizenship Complete Unit (150 pages, sold separately), though it works just as well as a standalone resource for any classroom.
