(Apr.14th) Home Learning - Canadian Identity 9U

Posted: April 14, 2020

This is the selection of home learning tasks for the whole week of Apr.14th - Apr.19th (reminder that this not supposed to be onerous but should be about 3 hours of reading/work a wee).

1. I have attached notes for Chapter 3 and would like you to read through these focussing on the sections titled "Population Density," "Population Distribution," and "Push/Pull Factors." When finished, you are to complete the attached Population Density worksheet. You will need to find the area of each province and the latest population data on the internet. You can then calculate Pop Density using the formula in the notes.

2. There is an attached worksheet that will require reading through the Canadian Atlas website section titled "Settling Canada" and its subheadings of Basics, Settlers to 1800, Settlers Since 1800.  http://www.canadiangeographic.com/atlas/themes.aspx?id=settling&sub=settling_basics_mosaic&lang=En

Note: some of these questions require inferences and you may not find the information directly in the text.

Take care and stay safe,

Mr. Johnston

 

PS: For The New Mosaic, some people were having difficulty viewing the chart because their browser would not support FlashPlayer. I've added the charts into the student activity sheet attached.
