one of A Saskatchewan Ecoregion, Saskatchewan road maps, large papers or poster board, markers, scissors, glue, Saskatchewan travel brochures and magazines
1. Obtain a copy of A Saskatchewan Ecoregion (one ecoregion).
2. a) Create a poster depicting that ecoregion on a large map of Saskatchewan such as a highways map or outline of Saskatchewan drawn on poster board.
b) The ecoregion under consideration should be coloured and identified in a large title at the top of the poster.
c) The plants, animals, climate, land use and soils of the ecoregion should be depicted on the poster with pictures or large print.
d) Use a tree identification book and draw silhouettes of typical trees found in each region.
e) Look through magazines, travel brochures, or your own photo
albums at home to find pictures representing typical scenes, vegetation,
or wildlife that may be found in that area. Add these to the map.
Show photos or sketches of forested lands in different parts of the province. Quiz other students about components of ecoregions and try to develop a hypothesis regarding where the photo was taken, by identifying trees in the pictures.
