    2. In the computer lab or on your home computer, students log-in then enter the Internet and type in the address:

      3. sd71.bc.ca/sd71/edulinks/Canada/index.htm

    3. Students click on the provinces to open up information about each province.
    4. Have the students use this information to create a final project. Some ideas for this are:
      -Write a postcard from each province to your home telling of what you saw. On the front of each postcard, draw a picture that tells something about that province (one of the symbols or a picture of what the landscape looks like).

      -Create a book about the provinces and territories of Canada with each page displaying information about the symbols and environment found in each one.

      -Create a "Lapbook" about Canada. Click here to learn more about Lapbooks
