Settlers project

The grade four students have been studying what life was like for new settlers to Alberta.  In this task the students were given a free piece of land and an imaginary loan adding up to $10 000 and were asked to imagine what they would buy and sell to help build up their homestead if they were new farmers to Alberta.  They had to add and subtract from their loan any time they bought or sold items and they made a final representation of their homestead.
