In assigned groups students will create posters for display in the class regarding the various
7 Landform regions of Canada. The regions to select from are as follows:
Appalachian, Great Lakes-St. LawrenceLowlands, Canadian Shield, Interior Plains, Western Cordillera, Arctic, Innuition
The posters should be created in a similar layout as the example, but feel free to create your own version of a poster if you want. Each section your cover should be a separate page which you glue to your poster. I will provide the poster boards, you just need to format and create the information to add to it on Wednesday. You can use the information in the text to supply everything you need for your poster, as well as the internet to ‘fill in’ any missing information. Use your region’s name as the keyword search in Google, Yahoo or any other search engine. PLEASE remember to put the information in your own words!!!
Ask about or look up ‘odd’ terminology and simplify the explanation to make it ‘make sense’! As well, if you have any troubles formatting a Word document, please let me know and I will give you a hand with the ‘visual organization’ of your poster.
Some of the ideas you should include:
The map:
Shade in your region on a map of Canada
Locate the major cities in your region
