Gr. 4V Social Studies: Celebrating Our Past: What Matters Most About My Alberta

Celebrating Our Past: What Matters Most About My Alberta

Our country is approaching a milestone this year – its 150^th birthday. Many parts of Canada, including Alberta, have contributed to making our country the great one that it is today. So far in our examination of Alberta this year, we have focused on a variety of things which have been key in the growth of our province.  Recently, the students were challenged to brainstorm, select, explore and examine what places, geography, events, people or stories from Alberta’s past have contributed to our development and are most worth preserving for our future generations. Part of the task included:

·       selecting a place, geography, event, individual or stories that was important during the history of our province

·       sharing information about its place in the history and how it contributed to the development of our province

·       explaining why it is worth preserving for future generations.

 

 

The students had the choice of creating Visual Presentation, Newspaper Article, Information Brochure, Google Slide, Prezi or Power-Point Presentation, Photo Essay or Pic Collage that highlights the required information explored with each topic selected and examined.

The following are examples of some of the student work that was created.
