English 005: From Pucks to Parliament


4 September 2007

Group assignment 2007

As you know, each of your groups is focusing on one region of Canada and your group will be creating a blog where you will share with the rest of the class (and the world!) all that you’ve learned about this area.

Each week, your group will be responsible for a blog posting that will encompass text, images, and, if you wish, audio or video. Your goal over the course of the semester is to share with the class as much as you can learn about your particular region. While you might have blog postings about things that are happening in the news in that region or some cool links or information that you’ve discovered about that area, the biggest posting of the week will revolve around one of the following themes:

- Politics

- History

- Geography

- An author from that region

- A musical artist or group from that region

- A town or city from that region

- A newspaper

- First Nations

- A book about your region from the library

- A movie or TV series from that region (NOT a US film or TV series filmed in Canada)

All of your blog postings should contain text and images and each can be as long as you like. Each posting should be substantial enough to give us a fair bit of content. Furthermore, I’ll also be expecting to see you using a variety of sources. The Internet might work for some of these, but I expect you to use the library as well.
