The Process

To accomplish the task of finding the mystery location in Canada, these are the clues you'll need to explore. Each clue starts with a question. (Hints to questions are provided.) Record the answer to each clue in a word processing document (here's an easy way how) or on a piece of paper. Click here for a printable worksheet to keep track of your responses.

Click here for Support Materials, a series of worksheets (one for each of the seven clues) that can be used to clarify, enrich and extend students' knowledge of Canada. Thanks to Susan MacMillan for these extensions.
