Ce document de 30 pages contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour que vos élèves puissent effectuer des recherches indépendantes sur une province ou un territoire canadien. Créé pour être utilisé pour les élèves d'immersion française de 6e année à l'ÎPÉ, il comprend les éléments suivants:

• Un aperçu vierge de chaque province et territoire canadien;
• Une explication détaillée et un aperçu de la recherche;
• Des critères de réussite détaillés;
• Une auto-évaluation avec objectifs et réflexion.

Vos élèves rechercheront des éléments tels que des attractions, des symboles, des capitales, des populations, etc. et pourront ensuite utiliser la carte vierge de leur province / territoire pour dessiner / colorier ce que vous choisissez comme objectif: capitales, routes, élévation, etc. C'est à vous le choix!

Mes élèves ont aimé utiliser Canva pour leurs cartes postales / affiches; mais n'importe quel support fonctionne bien et un 'template' est donné pour un dépliant/pamphlet à plier.

Mes documents ont tous été créés pour des suppléants et remplaçants; donc ils sont faciles à utiliser, comprendre et effectuer.

Détendez-vous - j'ai celui-ci!

♡ Mme. Kaitlyn

The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.

I would expect a single student to take about ten weeks, with a weekly goal (perhaps a little faster) of completing one section.

There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.

The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.

There is also a list of civilizations that have an abundance of information available on line.

Now updated to include Joe Biden!

A great digital research and sorting activity that is perfect for introducing students to all of the Presidents of the United States throughout history, from the very first - George Washington, to the present president, Joe Biden. Great for class work, distance learning or home schooling. There are 45 posters or task cards featuring all of the U.S. Presidents.

The research and sorting activity is differentiated into two levels: with dates and without dates. Lower level students can sort the events using the dates, whilst higher level students can research the dates online before sorting the timeline.

Scrappy Patchwork Quilts

A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme.

The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).
