For the Convention of Learning on December 16th
students in room 16 will presenting their suggestions for Canada's next
official animal. The Beaver has been Canada's symbol since 1975, when a private member’s bill, which had been passed
by the Senate received Royal Assent, making the beaver the official
national symbol of Canada. More recently a Canadian senator has called for a national “emblem makeover” by
replacing a vegetarian rodent with the
world’s largest walking carnivore that thrives in the cold.
Students will be presenting their
work both orally and on a poster. The following criteria needs to
be included on the poster:
•
Catchy title which
includes the animals's name and Canada's Next National Animal. It
should be big and bold.
•
Subtitles - Habitat, Food Chain
(what does it eat, predator and prey), Physical Features (adaptations), Why
should it be Canada's next animal?
•
Four paragraphs (one for each of
the above topics)
•
Pictures - at least one well drawn,
labelled picture of the animal, map showing where it lives and a picture of
it's habitat.
Students have been given a graphic
organizer for their research. The research should now be complete
and they should be working on completing their paragraphs. Good
copies of all four paragraphs will be due on Thursdays. If they would
like to type their paragraphs they are encouraged to do so in a google doc so
that it will be available for them to work on both at school and at home.
