Unit A
Introduction to Income Tax

We have created four activities to introduce income tax:

Feelings about Income Tax
written feelings and responses, with instructions for a structured discussion, and a short writing activity to record the discussion

A Short History of Taxation
a reading passage with comprehension questions, and a demonstration

Canada's Modern Taxation System
a reading passage and discussion/comprehension questions

Where the Money Goes
a one-page article, and written exercises that require the students to scan the article, to name their current political leaders, and to identify which government services they themselves use
