What is canadian assignment
- 1. What is Canadian? Assignment Due: Wednesday September 21, 2011 Assignment Description Your task is to create a collage that reflects both the media’s representation of Canada/Canadians and your own. You will do this by assembling a collage (on a regular sized sheet of poster paper) in the image of the Canadian flag. The left half of the flag will consist of representations from the media. The right half will consist of images from your own Canadian experience. For this task, I will provide you with one sheet of poster paper. Use it wisely! Writing on your poster should be typed and neatly organized. On each side of the flag you will select images that reflect “Canadianness”. For each image you select, you will provide a brief description which clearly describes what the image represents to you, in relation to “Canadianness”. For example, if you put a picture of a hockey game, what is Canadian about that? And why? Descriptions must be between 1-3 sentences. Each image must either be supported by a description or you may use a quotation**. ** --You must site each quotations source --Every quotation must come from a different source --Each quotation must be represented by at least one image in your collage Every collage will be presented and explained in front of the class. You may work independently or in groups of two. If you plan on working with someone else, choose your partner carefully! YOU are responsible for your own work. Having your partner not show up for presentation day, or having them leave your work at their house is NO EXCUSE and will not be accepted! Evaluation: see Rubric
