| What a great introduction to advertising. The grade 5/6 students each chose an area of Québec to promote and we had poster made. You will see these posters around the classroom and throughout the school. This is a good start of the transdisciplinary unit about government, more specifically the different laws regarding official languages in Canada and the province of Québec. |
