-How does the physical geography of each community shape its identity? (CC, I)


Project Description

In the grade two curriculum, students compare an Inuit, an Acadian, and a Prairie community. This map is one in a set of three used to help students identify how the unique geographical characteristics of each region have shaped each community's identity. Along with questions found at some of the locations, students will be using information from the entire map to answer the following questions:

What made these places key factors in building the community of Drumheller?

How do these places support the community of Drumheller today?
