The Canada e-Book
Like the rest of the world, Canada is undergoing constant change. To make sense of this ever-changing country, the Canada e-Book uses sound, photographs, tables, graphs and both analytical and descriptive text to look at Canada through four broad perspectives: the Land, the People, the Economy, and the Nation.
~PENPALS~
NEWFOUNDLAND: Grade 7 social study teachers interested in finding pen pals for their students from different regions of North America for the purpose of learning about what makes their culture unique and similar to others. If you are interested in this project contact douglasnevin@lgsd.ca.
ALBERTA: I teach a grade five class in a town just outside of
