In Search of a Canadian Identity

Through the use of a PowerPoint slideshow, you are to prepare a presentation that will use events and personalities from Canada's history to define a distinctly Canadian identity.

The presentation should last no less than three minutes and no more than five minutes.

Below you will find some general parameters for the assignment. A scoring guide will be available shortly in the pick up folder on the network.



General Parameters:

examples must include political, social, economic, military history


examples must also be chronologically presented with a timeline of sorts -- this timeline should tell an evolving story


examples must be organized into a set of themes -- don't have too many or too few (probably somewhere between three and five)


present day results or impact of each item chosen must be clearly explained


DO NOT READ SLIDES FOR THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION. Be prepared to show you have a command of the material you have chosen.

prepare a list of references using APA style, as demonstrated in class




Presentations will begin Friday, February 17, 2012

WE WILL BE IN ROOM 227 FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14 AND WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15.
