Description

Students will learn about early co-operation in Saskatchewan, what an organized co-operative is, and what co-operative action means. Particular attention will be paid to the co-operative movement in Saskatchewan.  In-classroom lesson plans focus on co-operatives in times of crisis and the spirit of co-operation at work in their families, in their school, and in their communities. They include material lists, Saskatchewan ‘Fast Facts,’ and links to additional resources.

These Lesson Plans may be done on their own or as a complement to an in-Museum Synergy: Co-operation in Saskatchewan Discovery Box program.
