Pentz Elementary School  Pentz  “Exploring and Mapping a New World”: a dynamic and animated account
Grades 5 and 6 students brought to life (with animation) the early history of Nova Scotia concentrating on the arrival of the first French settlers on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, the mapping of the coastline by Samuel de Champlain, the relationship between these first explorers and the Mi’kmaq and the Mi'kmaq culture. The project took final form with a completed multimedia (CD and online) presentation.
