Going to Agribition!

Next week, we will be going to the Canadian Western Agribition.  Here is the website!  Please look around the website and answer the following questions:

1.  Look at this web page.  What kind of crops can be in the seed competition?
2.  Click on the Ranch Horse Catalogue and write a little bit about one of the horses in it.  (3 sentences)
3.  List three sponsors of the Agribition listed here.
4.  What are three events at the Agribition we will be able to see?  Look at this list.
5.  What are some other events that will take place in the evenings?  (After 6pm)

Write the answers to these questions on a piece of paper and hand them in tomorrow.  They are due Wednesday, November 16th.

If you are finished the Agribition questions, take some time to look at these websites about farm animals.  We will see many of these at Agribition on November 22nd.

All About Farm Animals 

For Agribition, please remember the following:
- Bring a warm jacket
- Wear older shoes
- Bring lunch and some water
- You may also bring some money to buy lunch or a treat (e.g. popcorn, hamburgers, hotdogs, ice cream)
- Stay with your group leader (teacher); Agribition is VERY large and we must stay with our groups at all times.
- Animals always go first.  They are much bigger than you so wait for them to go first.
- You will be dismissed from your Period 1 class at 9 am.  The bus will be ready to go at 9:15 am.  Meet in Ms. Wurm's classroom.
- Have fun!

You will research information on one Saskatchewan field crop to find out information and then present that information in a PowerPoint presentation.  You will first need to complete a research outline with the facts that you find.

The PowerPoint will include a title page, the required facts, and some additional interesting facts that you have discovered.  Use the template that I have provided for you to complete the PowerPoint presentation and the research outline.


For this assignment, you can use the following websites to find information on the crop you have chose.  You may also use the encyclopedias in the office or other books.  Make sure to write down all of your sources for a reference list.
