Throughout our study of Canada and our “Canadascape” theme the students are involved in a number of activities in order to learn more about and appreciate many aspects of their country. As the students work through this theme using the Internet, they are developing the following skills: reading and writing, organizing information, locating resources, analyzing the appropriateness of materials, small and large group discussion, independent and team production, storage and retrieval of data and publishing information.
Work in one particular project has required students to employ the stages of the writing process to research and publish a written project detailing a significant Canadian individual or animal of their choice. The grade four students have begun to present their Canadian biography projects. Everyone is keen to be a member of the audience during these inquiry presentations. To date we have learned about Burton Cummings, Avril Lavigne, Ava Avila and Cindy Klassen.
