to help them decide if the ecozone falls into a category of polar, grasslands, rainforest or forest if the answer is not obvious.
Students create a master map that indicates where the polar, grassland, rainforest or forest regions are in Canada. They can indicate which parts represent the regions using illustrations or textually. They can use an overhead projector to make a large wall map of Canada. They should draw symbols that represent polar, grassland, desert, rainforest or forested regions.
Student groups are assigned a region (polar, grassland,
desert, rainforest or forest). Each group uses electronic
or non-electronic sources to find another country that

region of Norway, Russia or the African Savannah. They
can begin research in the Atlas’ Learning Resources Section
and select Other Online Atlases.
