Put your students into the shoes of a new agriculture reporter. They will learn about agriculture while they search for the next big news story for their editor.

Students will be guided through activities to:

• Read and problem solve to classify different Canadian crops.
• Use multi-step math skills to figure out how much seed is needed to plant each of the farmer’s fields.
• Explore charts and graphs to answer questions around how well the farmers' crops yielded.
• See simple machines in action on the farm and explore what makes them work.
• Lay out and write a cover-worthy story relating to agriculture that will keep readers engaged and informed.
