Regions of Canada Brochure

Introduction:

Canada is a huge and varied land in all ways.  In geography, history, economics and culture, each area of Canada is different and unique.  In this project, you will share what you have learned about some of the forces, which lead to diversity within the country, and how these forces create regions, which are distinct from one another.

 

The Task:

Create a brochure (tri-fold) using Microsoft Publisher to inform people about the unique characteristics of each region, as well as some of the economic and political challenges faced by the people who choose to live in each region. 

Procedure:

Using your notes, maps, and information gathered through the course of this unit, create a brochure advertising the various regions of Canada.  Your brochure must contain the following required information:

Name the six physiographic regions of Canada, and for each one, describe:
Major industries found in each region
How industries are affected by geography and/or climate
Population characteristics

As well, for each region, please make every effort to answer a minimum of four (if not all) of the following additional elements:

How do you think the ethnic populations of this region have contributed to its uniqueness?
How has history contributed to the development of this region?
Based on your research, what can you conclude about the political climate of each region?
Distinguish between economic advantages and disadvantages.
Do many of the people of this region feel alienated?  Why do you think this is so?
Do you think the effects of equalization on this area have been positive or negative? Why?

Format:

On the tri-fold brochure, you will have six sections; you must use one section for each region.  This means that you must be concise in the information that you include.  Graphics may be used, but must not take too much space, and should be relevant to the information presented.  Maps are acceptable.

Evaluation:

Your brochure will be evaluated using the attached scoring criteria.  Please be sure to refer to the rubric while you are compiling the information for your brochure.
