Canadian Natural Resources Inquiry

Good morning Grade Fives!

          

               Today you will be exploring a new assignment for Science, "Canadian Natural Resources" Inquiry. You will choose a Canadian natural resource to explore in depth. You will be posting your information formally on our class wiki. You will use your first name and first letter of your last name (without a capital or a space) and your spelling 'user' name as your password e.g. jillf, dragon. Please go to our class wiki now, log in, and watch the video ‘Wikis in Plain English’. When done, please go to the 'Canadian Natural Resources' pages to see where you will be posting your information. 

          Your response this week will not be a paragraph. Instead, I would like you to list any questions you have about the assignment and send it through the blog. Please spend time thinking about this part. I want to ensure that you understand the assignment thoroughly.

          Love, Mrs. French

Canada's Natural Resources

Dear Grade Fives!

Today, in your Blog response, I would like you to write a complete paragraph about natural resources in Canada. I would like you to respond to the question: What are natural resources and what are some examples of those found and used in Canada?

Remember to 1) read over your response to ensure that it makes sense; 2) use spell-check to help you with your spelling; 3) listen to your blog; and 4) use the checklist to help ensure that your paragraph uses the correct conventions. These tools are intended to make it easier for you to complete a writing assignment successfully. Take advantage of them.

As always, I look forward to reading your responses!

Love, Mrs. French
