Approaches to Learning- This project relates to approaches to learning because we learned about British Columbia and studied about the province. After learning about it we put our knowledge into a presentation. We used the knowledge we already knew and everything we learned by using resources.

Human Ingenuity- Human Ingenuity relates to this project because we had to make a Prezi using our creativity to make it more interesting and related to our topic. We also had to create a nice and attractive design for the handouts. We all used our creativity and our thinking skills into making this.
