Grade 7

Students worked on an open book assignment to determine absolute and relative locations of various cities in Ontario.  They were asked to use a scale, measure and determine the distance between 2 cities. They used a legend to describe major cities and the relative location of national parks on a map. 

Students will be tested this week on vocabulary; 2 methods to determine absolute location (la localisation absolute); and public transportation (la transportation en commun), as well as, 1 advantage and inconvenience of it. The second part of the unit test will be an open-book question.
