The Elements of Your Lap Book:
Your Lap Book: is due on Thursday, December 14th. There is no leeway on this due date: it is our presentation day. If possible, please have your Lap Book ready by the 13th instead.
All of the elements of your project should be securely attached to the Lap Book. Where you place the items is up to you; but do your best to arrange the elements in a logical and attractive way. Get creative with the pockets and flaps and booklets. Lap Books are meant to be interactive, so things that your audience can do to discover your information, like push, pull, lift and spin, are great ways to enhance interest. Colour is important. Tidy cutting and gluing is key. Show off the very best of your work!

Fact Finding: Your mission is to learn about how your town came to be. Use the suggested websites to find as many answers as you can. If an answer isn’t available, try your own web search or ask for help.
Part 1: Local First People
What is the name of the First Nation whose people lived in the area near your town? (There may be more than one.)
|
To which cultural group did they belong (Coast Salish, Nuu chah nulth, or Kwakwaka’wakw)?
|
Do these People live somewhere different than in the past? Name the town or village where they now live.
|
Can you find an image, symbol, or saying that is sometimes used by the local First Nation? Hint: try the First Nation government website; these often have representative images that you can view. Paste this image or saying here:
|
Part 2: The Growth of the Town
This question is in two parts:
a) When did European people first begin to settle here?
b) When was the town founded, or established? (These don't always happen at the same time.)
|
Why did European people first settle at this place? (Note that first settlement may have nothing to do with the resource industry that your town developed later on.)
|
What resource industries attracted workers here?
|
Why was this a good place for your town’s industry? (Was it nearby to a resource? Was it easy to move things to and from this place? Was it in a central location?)
|
What transportation links were developed for the town?
|
In the past, your town may have been larger or smaller than it once was. How many people once lived here? How many reside here now? Can you find out why this change in population may have occurred?
|
Find an image that best represents your industry in action (you may have to do a more general search for this). Paste it here:
|
What product was produced by your town? Try to be specific.
|
Part 3: The Town Today
Imagine that you are a tourist. What are three things to see in, or near, your town?
|
Find an adventure tourism outfitter that is based near, or in, your town. What is the name of the business. What adventure(s) do they offer?
Discover some details about this adventure, like cost, time, season, location, etc. (This is info that may be used to create an awesome itinerary for a traveler to your town.)
|
What is the town best known for?
|
Interesting stuff you have learned about your town:
|
Find an image that represents your town today, one that is different than the one you chose to represent the local First Nation. Paste it here.
|
If you and your family were to visit this town, where would you stay? Tell about the kind of accommodation, prices, location and phone number.
