Identities and Belongings – SAÉ for Grade 7
Discover four learning and evaluation situations (SAÉ) developed to explore the “Identities and Belongings” theme in Grade 7, as part of the Quebec Culture and Citizenship program.
Who Am I?
A reflection on self-discovery and understanding others through engaging activities that celebrate diversity.
Cell Phones at School and at Home
Investigate the omnipresence of smartphones, their effects on socialization and identity, while promoting responsible usage practices.
Outlier Groups
An in-depth look at group influence and social pressure, urging students to question their own behavior and foster inclusion.
Attractions and Appeal
An examination of adolescent awakening and identity development, encouraging reflection on relationships, fashion, and confronting stereotypes.
These SAÉ provide teachers with rich, structured activities to guide students in their personal and social development.
SAÉ 1, “Who Am I?”, dives into the concept of identity in Grade 7 under the Quebec Culture and Citizenship program.
Students discuss what defines them, solve a fictional character’s problem regarding personal identity, and explore diverse perspectives on how appearance influences self-perception.
A final slideshow activity highlights the richness of individual differences. Grounded in health and well-being, and the cross-curricular competency “Achieving One’s Potential,” this SAÉ helps learners cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and others and their communities.
“Cell Phones at School and at Home” invites students to examine how smartphones affect identity and behavior.
Through a survey, discussions, and establishing a code of conduct, they discover the pervasive nature of technology and its positive and negative impacts. This module showcases socialization across primary and secondary cultures while developing the competency “Using Information and Communications Technologies.” A concluding debate challenges learners to question whether a smartphone-free life is possible, spurring a broad awareness of technology’s role.
“Outlier Groups” explores the dynamics of belonging and each person’s place within social circles.
Students identify different levels of peer pressure, analyze fictional case studies on group influence, and create scales related to marginalization and conformity. The SAÉ concludes with creating a poster about exclusion, based on a survey of stereotypes encountered at school or online. Tied to the “Media” broad area of learning and the “Using Creative Thinking” competency, this module fosters a better understanding and respect for diversity.
“Attractions and Appeal” introduces Grade 7 students to identity, gender socialization, and adolescent awakening. Through activities ranging from “Love or Friendship?” to a debate on appearance, they learn about sexual orientation, emotions, and the impact of fashion. Tied to the “Orientation and Entrepreneurship” broad area of learning and the “Achieving One’s Potential” competency, this SAÉ promotes personal development and encourages thoughtful reflection on self-perception and the perception of others.
