This 71-page no-prep, no planning document has everything you need to introduce your students to geography, cartography, mapping and navigation - En Français!

This cross-curricular pedagogical document will provide you with a 37-page slide deck, complete with terms, definitions, examples, discussion prompts, images, games and activities. It also includes a 33-page student workbook complete with printable worksheets, activities, partner work, research, a final project as well as answer keys, a final project rubric and success criteria.

My slides are never babyish and are suitable for grades 4 through 7. They are suitable for students "en adaptation scolaire," or as a simple introduction to concepts covered in grades 5-7. I teach grades 5 and 6, and this works wonderfully for us!

The first half of the document is your teachable slide deck. In it, you'll find:

• A "Would you rather" style game as a warm up!
• A reflection question.
• A discussion prompt to illicit prior knowledge.
• An in-depth look at some of the earliest maps, their history, their evolution, their purpose, the material used and the process behind them.
• A look at modern mapping and their multiple uses, multiple purposes and multiple features.
• An explanation of scale and "scaling" a map.
• An in-depth look at grids, reticles and the map network with an emphasis on lines of longitude and latitude, the poles, the equator and the meridian.
• Discussion prompts about the measurement of diameter on our spherical planet.
• A look at the different hemispheres (N, S, E and W.)
• Group discussion prompts about continents and how we read a map of the world.
• Fun Facts about the Canadian provinces.
• Explanations (with visuals!) of different reference maps (physical and topographic).
• A comparison of "good" maps and "bad" maps and the need to be precise and to follow specific criteria when it comes to map-making.
• An activity on labeling Canada.

In addition to the Slide Deck, you'll find a student workbook with loads of printable activities that are excellent to leave with a substitute teacher or to use yourself. It comes with a "cover page" for their binders or duo-tangs. In the student workbook, your students will find:

• A jigsaw activity using Google Maps (group activity)
• A visual aid that highlights different components of a map with examples.
• "Comment utiliser une échelle?" - An activity to practice measuring distance using scale.
• "Comment te rendre chez toi?" - A quick warm-up map-making activity for students to "draw" their way to school.
• "Sais-tu utiliser une échelle?" - A series of distance-measuring activities using the provincial map of your choosing. I've included sheets for all Canadian provinces.
• "Guide touristique de chez vous!" - An activity on finding and measuring distances between their favorite landmarks, amusement parks, shopping and activities in their province.
• "Road Trip! Calculer le temps nécessaire" - An activity for students to calculate the time needed to travel (incorporates algebraic representation and uses the formula T = D/V).
• "Road Trip! Symboles et géographie" - An activity on reading symbols and the universal nature of symbols.
• "Symboles universels: Symboles et la cartographie" - An activity on creating universally-known symbols for universally-known concepts.
• "Système de coordonnées: Comment lire un atlas?" - An activity on using the coordinate system to find locations on a map.
• A world map is provided with a coordinate grid layered through it for these activities.
• Answer keys for all activities here!
• A final project explanation along with success criteria.
• A checklist and rubric are provided for the final project.

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!
