Canada province/territory project

Students were put into groups of two and each assigned a province or territory of Canada.  Only using non-fiction books on their province, they researched about their province (looking at text features, bold words, subtitles, etc.).  The research focus was on the provincial bird/flower, capital city, nickname, when they became part of Canada, landscape, climate and natural resources.  Students then represented their facts through pictures or symbols on the shape of their province/territory and wrote an artist statement explaining their art.

All groups did a great job and worked on their collaboration skills.
