Diabetes Prevention is a CLB 1L - CLB 1 comprehensive package complete with teacher notes, assessment tool and reflection activity for the end of the module. It is free for download from Tutela.ca. My high literacy learners used these materials over a period of two weeks. Toward the end of week one, I extended the materials with this "My Plate" graphic organizer for them to draw or write out the foods that they usually eat for dinner. They really got it. My Eritrean student had injera as his grain while the Burmese student drew grains of rice.

Taking Medicine Module Pack with Activities, Tasks, Assessment Tools and Learner Reflection
I created this during pandemic teaching because, in spite of having massive issues with the entire premise of PBLA, I was being paid to do what IRCC wanted. They wanted uploads to Tutela. I enjoy creating materials much more than I enjoy teaching online, so I created this module pack to help justify the paycheques. I extend my thanks to Lindsay Matheson of Saskatoon Open Door Society for her willingness to review the resource and make suggestions for changes.
