Produced by the "Table régionale en Univers social Laval-Laurentides-Lanaudière (LLL)" in 2008 these documents will soon require modification once the new Cycle 2 progression of learning are released.  Until that happens though, these tools offer valuable suggestions as to which "notional content"  could be taught in a particular year of the program.
