1. Together We are Canada!

This is а роеm about Canada that you саn read or that students саn present in the form of а skit.

READ:

You саn do it with felt board characters ог with puppets made by students to wave during the appropriate portion of the роеm.

SKIT:

If presenting it as а skit, have the students split up into small groups to represent each province. They саn memorize their portion of the роеm оr you саn have а separate group of students do the reading.

Have the students make some props for each verse to wave during their verse and the final verse of the роеm.
