6. Task 5: Read
and do – Map
completion (10
minutes) • Students are given an outline map of British Columbia (Task 4 on worksheet)
and are asked to mark as many features from the text as they can. Further
features may be added from other sources as a follow-up activity.
7. Follow-up
activities • Use wall maps, atlases and Internet resources to add to the map of British
Columbia.
• Parallel writing about another city in Canada
• Content extension – further information about Vancouver (history, urban
development)
• Vocabulary extension – add language from the gap-fill to the vocabulary
chart.
• Project work (national-scale – Canada, city scale – Vancouver China town,
local scale –living and working in Vancouver).
TIP: The choice of follow-up activities will depend on whether content or
language is to be the focus. Depth of study, particularly for project work, will
depend on time available.
