How can I get my students even more engaged during our trip to Toronto?

Toronto is the perfect place to explore shoes(!), science, Canadian history, and art in more depth.

Many of the sites that you will visit in Toronto have developed lesson plans to begin engagement in the classroom. Provide a deeper appreciation for the places you will visit by exploring a focus topic prior to the trip.
