Treasures of the Land

There are no handouts from today's class. We watched a video, entitled Treasures of the Land, about our Canadian landscape and ecosystems. Please see me if you missed class so that we can go over an example of an ecosystem cycle.

See yo all tomorrow!

WHY STUDY SOCIAL STUDIES?

The WHY STUDY SOCIAL STUDIES assignment was handed out today. Remember, it is due in class on Monday February 9th. Please see me in class for an example.

We reviewed what geography is and how we use it everyday! We then started writing down what history means to each of us, and any important events,people, places that we have or want to know more about.

Remember, Social Studies combines both history and geography and allows us to study the past, present and even predict the future! Hope this helps start off your assignment!

Finally, please bring pencil crayons to class tomorrow, as we will be starting our mapping exercises.

see you tomorrow

If you missed class today, we signed out our textbook: Canada Revisited. Please see the librarian if you did not sign one out.

We also watched a clip about geography, and brainstormed some ideas about what geography is.

See you tomorrow!
