Canada is home to a large variety of wildlife due to its fast forests, and many lakes and rivers. Some of the animal species that are abundant in Canada are beavers, deer, bears, mountain lions, and bighorn sheep. The fresh water lakes and rivers contain many types of fish such as salmon and trout. Canada’s prairies are the home of bison and antelope, while the evergreen forests farther north are where you can find moose and black bears. Native wildlife is important to Canadians, and they work hard to preserve it. For this activity, students will create a brochure that highlights the special wildlife that calls Canada home.
You can also find more brochure templates to add to this assignment if you want to provide students with a few options.

Due Date:
Objective: Create a brochure that highlights and describes some of the wildlife found in Canada.
Student Instructions:
Share brief wildlife facts with your class at the start or end of lessons to spark curiosity. This encourages students to connect classroom topics to real-world animals and habitats.
Assign students to look up one Canadian animal and find two unique facts. This builds research skills and deepens their connection to the brochure project.
Have students present their animal facts to the class or in small groups. This boosts confidence and helps everyone learn about more species.
Post photos or drawings of Canadian animals on a bulletin board. This creates a visually engaging learning environment and reinforces key concepts daily.
Ask students to compare wildlife in their area to Canadian species discussed in class. This makes learning relevant and personal for each student.
Canada's forests are home to animals like moose, black bears, beavers, and deer, while the prairies feature bison and antelope. These regions support a diverse range of wildlife adapted to their environments.
Students can create a brochure by illustrating Canadian animals, writing short summaries for each, and organizing their brochure by habitat or species. Using templates can help make the process easier and more creative.
The best way to teach kids about Canadian wildlife is through hands-on activities like making brochures, using visuals, and encouraging research about different animals and their habitats.
Native wildlife is important to Canadians because it represents the country's natural heritage, supports ecosystems, and is a source of national pride. Canadians work to preserve and protect these species for future generations.
A brochure for 4th or 5th graders should include animal names, habitat descriptions, fun facts, colorful illustrations, and short summaries that are easy to read and understand.
