KWL Chart |
Statistics Canada provides numerical information about the population of Canada and its provinces. The Web site includes information about the general population, components of population growth, mobility and migration, origins and visible minorities, languages and immigrant population. The 2001 census is the most recent data included although some projections are made into 2026.
Western Icelanders in Manitoba
Why did people leave Iceland to settle in Manitoba? What hardships did these settlers encounter in their new country? The Western Icelanders in Manitoba collection tells about the first 25 years of Icelandic settlement in Manitoba. At this site students can listen to Icelandic folk music, view the picture gallery, and learn about the history of the Icelandic colony.

KWL Chart |
A KWL Chart is a useful tool for providing a purpose and focus for reading and learning about a new concept or topic. It shows students what they know, encourages them to ask questions, and helps them to organize their knowledge. You can use the tool to introduce a new topic, to determine students' prior knowledge about a topic, and to generate research questions for a project. After students have completed their charts, ask them to compare what they knew, what they wanted to know and what they learned from reading this Web site. Ask them to look at which of their questions were answered and which ones were not. Were any of their original questions inappropriate? What further research might help them answer any unanswered questions? |
