Poverty and Homelessness: Changing Perspectives

Poverty and Homelessness: Changing Perspectives

A resource package developed by The Mustard Seed (Calgary, AB) designed to assist educators in teaching students about poverty and homelessness.

What’s included:

  • Five-day lesson plans and resources for each age group from grade 1 to 12
  • Each lesson is designed 30-45 minutes in length and can be taught as a stand-alone lesson, even as each day’s material builds on the previous day(s).

The Poverty and Homelessness: Changing Perspectives curriculum is designed to be effective in both classroom and homeschool settings. While each day’s content builds on the previous day, each lesson may also be introduced and explored independently, and is approximately 30minutes – one hour in length.

Although the Mustard Seed is based in Calgary, Alberta, there are books, videos and activities that are applicable to any urban setting.
