Use Heritage BC’s community-sourced cultural maps in your classroom! Heritage BC has launched brand new lesson plans and activities for students from grades 1 – 7 that can be used in your classroom to engage students with the popular online maps.
The Mapping My Community (grades 1 – 3) lesson plan offers students a chance to reflect on the places that make their community unique and special. Each lesson plan comes with an outline, a slide deck, a ready-to-print worksheet and an assessment of learning.
