Saskatchewan Historic Places Discovery Hunt

(View Complete Item Description)

"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.

Enrichment Choice Board

(View Complete Item Description)

This choice board can be used for the students "that are always done everything" either at home or at school. You can set your own expectations about how many students will complete along with them, but I'd suggest starting with just one and see how it goes. I've included a PDF version for sharing - it's easy to click the links and get started. I've also included the choice board as a MSWord doc so you can edit it or create your own if you wish (please share it back!)
