Research Resource Pack

Looking for research resources for your Living and Working in Ontario Unit? These information pieces will provide your students with some age appropriate information about the land regions and 8 specialized communities in Ontario.

Included:

For each of the 3 Land Regions of Ontario

★ Webpage Style PDF: High Readers (3 pages each) - This is the most detailed version. It would be suitable for high readers or to be used as a read aloud (project on smart board, read with small groups, etc.- please note this is a PDF not a live website).

★ Brochure: Mid-level (2 pages each) - Suitable for average readers. It is written with a slight persuasive style with a “come to our land region” spin.

★ One page Bullet Points: Lower Level (1 page each) - This for your lower readers. The points are more succinct and the language level is lower. Pictures are supportive of text.

★ Picture collage (1 page each) : Can be used to project on smart board as an intro/discussion. Provided as an additional research source or used for your very low/modified learners to make connections based on the pictures.

I try to update my items as quickly as possible when I can, but I cannot commit to unlimited lifetime updates of units. I will do my best, but I am a full-time teacher and mom to a young child. Please note that the purchase is for the CURRENT curriculum (as of August 2023). If future updates are made they will be added as a 'bonus', but I cannot commit to lifetime updates. Thank you for understanding :)
