The resources used during the CCA new teachers conference have been added to the end of the PBL plan.
It would be helpful to have a link to the resource page that was shared during the CCA New teacher presentations somewhere in the lesson plan. It is a great list of resources that is organized nicely. A lot of these resources aren’t found in the actual lesson plan – I had to go searching to remember where I had seen them. The google doc is called “Let’s Glow! – Resources”
