Social Studies Project

Students have been learning about the landform regions in Ontario.  They have started a project about one of the three regions on Google Slides.  I have shared the project outline, as well as an example, with them in the Google Drive.  They will be provided with lots of time in class to complete the project, but they can also do work at home if they wish.  Below is the project description.

Research one of Ontario’s three landform regions:

1. The Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Lowlands
2. The Canadian Shield
3. The Hudson’s Bay Lowlands

Create a Google Slide show containing at least all of the items listed below:

1. One map showing where the region is located (you may need to use a map of Canadian landform regions)
2. A map showing the larger communities in the region.
3. Labelled images of the natural environment
4. Labelled images of wildlife you would find in the region
5. Labelled images of people at work in the region (what jobs do people do in this region?)
6. Labelled images of recreational activities in the region.
7. A description of how humans have had a negative impact on this region.
8. A description of how humans can reduce the negative impact they are having on the region.

• You may add additional slides if you like.

You need to have a minimum of 7 slides.  The slide headings could be:

1. Landform Region Map
2. Political Map
3. Natural Environment
4. Wildlife
5. People at Work
6. People at Play
7. Human Impact
8. How to Reduce Human Impact
