3rd Grade Canadian History Resources

Cette tâche de recherche rapide et simple amènera vos élèves à explorer la vie des 23 premiers ministres canadiens, de Sir John A. MacDonald à Justin Trudeau. Chaque page de ce document contient un premier ministre différent et invite à découvrir leur histoire, leur impact et une citation célèbre. Chaque page est une feuille de travail de style infographique qui invite les élèves à remplir les trous pour fournir des informations relatives à leur premier ministre. Explorez l'histoire politique du Canada!

C'est une excellente activité à laisser avec un enseignant suppléant, et ils paraissent bien sur une chronologie sur votre mur avant les entretiens parents-enseignants. 

Cette activité est destinée aux classes de la 3e à la 5e année et est idéale comme outil pour enseigner les compétences de recherche au début de l'année scolaire.

Les élèves peuvent colorier leur premier ministre sur chaque page, et vous pouvez choisir de les faire présenter à leurs pairs !

Vous souhaitez intégrer l’apprentissage par projet et par inquisition dans votre classe, tout en abordant du matériel d’études sociales ? Cet ensemble comprend toutes les ressources de ma boutique qui permettront à vos élèves d'explorer les cartes, la politique, l'histoire, l'économie, la citoyenneté, l'environnement et leur apprentissage social et émotionnel.

J'enseigne avec une approche transdisciplinaire et j'aborde mes projets et activités sous plusieurs angles pour que vos élèves puissent lire, écrire, rechercher, s'amuser et créer des projets individuellement et en petits groupes qui vous épateront !
