REVIEW OF OUR WEEK:
- We began Chapter 11 in Voices and Visions: a focus on Canada and immigration in the early 1900's/late 1800's
Why did Canada need immigrants to move to the west?
- Studied 10 new words (from chapter 11), completed a spelling test, wrote definitions and example sentences for each word
- Land for Sale poster: We completed a "Land For Sale" poster (pg 248 in V+V). We completed this poster to learn more about how the government lured immigrants to western Canada
- Prepared for the final exam by practicing a friendly letter to a relative, describing a special relationship with a friend at school
- Reading about sources of energy and summarizing learning with writing
NEXT WEEK:
- Becoming Canada Project: We are starting this exciting project next week. We will be studying themes from throughout the year, then placing symbols to represent those themes on a 3 dimensional map of Canada! Here are some themes you will research and express on our map:
· Settlement locations for: Aboriginal, Metis, French, Acadian, British
· Railway: original location
· Trade: location of all forts and posts
· Resources: natural resources in province
· Landforms: all major rivers, lakes and mountain ranges, capital city
- Continuing learning about "Encouraging Immigration", chapter 11
