Arces, hockey y castores: una mirada a los símbolos oficiales de Canadá

In this one time class students will learn about Canada's official symbols. The beaver, the maple tree, and the game of hockey are three of these national emblems. We will learn when, and why each symbol was chosen to represent the country. Students will be provided a chart of the symbols to fill out as we go. Using powerpoint, videos, discussion, and activities we will discover the origins of each of the symbols that have been formally adopted by the Government of Canada. There are many additional Canadian icons students may be familiar with, that we will touch on as well.
