Chronicling Ontario’s Greenbelt Context Students investigate the history of the Golden Horseshoe and the creation of Ontario’s Greenbelt. This learning experience provides students with information on what a greenbelt is, what Ontario’s Greenbelt is, why it was created, where it is located, and what the land use patterns are. Curriculum Links Geography, English, The Arts Introduction • Students examine the map of Ontario’s Greenbelt to get a visual sense of what it is. Using a map of Canada, demonstrate that Ottawa and Vancouver also have greenbelts. • In groups, students create a concept map as they brainstorm why large cities might create policies for greenbelts. Note: If storyboarding is a new concept for students, explain that it is a visual tool that helps to order a sequence of events. It is a set of frames with roughly sketched pictures and captions explaining the action. Creating and organizing a storyboard is usually the first step in developing a documentary film. For practice, students can storyboard what they did during their lunch break or another school activity. Investigation • Students examine the concepts of protecting natural resources, agricultural lands, and water and discuss their findings as a class. • Working in small groups, students examine the Fact Sheets. Using this data, they create storyboards to share their findings. Ontario’s Greenbelt: A Resource for Teachers 7
