Features of Communities from Around the World!
As a class we will be exploring the many features of Canada (the map of Canada, the national flag, sports, festivals and traditions, clothing, weather, food, etc.). We will also learn how to read a world map in order to locate Canada and other major countries. In small groups you will further explore one of the following countries: Spain, China, India, Ireland and Trinidad. As a group you will design a poster board that includes a map of the country, the national flag, pictures and written information about that countries major festival, foods, clothing, weather and traditions. At the end of this unit each group will be given a chance to present the country they researched to the class and the poster will then be displayed on a bulletin board outside the classroom for all to see.
This will be a very exciting Unit, I can't wait!!
