Independent Projects
INDEPENDENT PROJECTS JUNE 2024
The grade 4 and 5 students of Division 5 Suncrest, Burnaby Schools
would like to present
the VIRTUAL version of their Independent Projects!
Each student chose a passion topic earlier in the year, conducted secondary and primary research, recorded notes and observations, created a bibliography of resources, and designed both digital and in-person presentation elements.
Thank you to our Burnaby School District librarians, including Ms. Ho at Suncrest, who helped us find resources!
Thank you to Division 5 Parents for supporting their children through the process, whether purchasing supplies or taking their children to public libraries and places around town to gather information!
Also thank you to the many community experts, teachers, and professors who contributed their knowledge. Please see the interview documentation under specific students, as well as bibliographies, for acknowledgement of the experts involved in their projects. We appreciate your time!
***All links are best viewed using a laptop rather than a mobile device. In addition, it can help to open them in the actual application on the desktop, rather than the online version, as it affects formatting.
***ZINES and BROCHURES are meant to be printed and folded into a booklet.
