"Using the outcomes and indicators identified in the Social Studies curriculum for grade 3-5 students, we developed a series of question sets, called Saskatchewan Historic Places Discovery Hunt, on the topics of immigration, Indigenous history, resource and economic development, prominent people and events in the province’s history, and governing Saskatchewan, among others. Using an inquiry-based approach, the questions are designed to guide students to a Saskatchewan listing on the Register where they can quickly, and without a great amount of critical thinking, learn an interesting fact about the property.
