For this project, you will work with a partner to produce a poster and make a presentation to the class on ONE topic related to the First Nations of Alberta.

Choose your topic from the list of topics below. They are divided into Challenging, More Challenging and The Most Challenging. Those topics that are more complex or that have more difficult readings are the more challenging ones.  You should choose a topic that interests you but also one that is somewhat challenging for you. If you wish to choose a topic that is not listed here, talk to your teacher to get permission.

Each topic has some links to Web sites that will help you get started. You may find other resources on the Web, in the library, or from the media to help you. You will also find the links on the Treasure Hunt page helpful.

Produce a poster: Together, you and your partner will make a poster that visually portrays your topic. You may use pictures, drawings, and words to help others to understand the topic you have chosen. All the posters will be judged by a panel of judges and a prize will be awarded to the best one. The posters will be judged on creativity, effectiveness and accuracy.

Make a presentation: You and  your partner will make a presentation to the class. In  your presentation you will share what you have learned about your topic and help your classmates to know a little more about the First Nations of Alberta. Each of you will present on a different part of the topic and so you each should speak for half of the time. You will provide your classmates with  4-5 comprehension questions that cover the main ideas of your presentation. You will each be graded on your part of the presentation. As well you will both be graded on the overall presentation, so you will need to work together.
