Due to the development of
technology and worldwide communication networks, we have access to
information about political, environmental, economic and social events
that influence Canadian and World Issues. This "Canadian and World
Issues Scrapbook Assignment" will help you develop your research,
observation and reporting skills.
The analysis portion of
this project will develop your critiquing and communication skills. You
will also discover that the media will only focus on a specific event or
issue for a period of time due to the short attention span of the
general media consumers and advertisers. For issues that are ongoing
such as famine, AIDS, child soldiers, deforestation, ozone layer
depletion, global warming and water pollution you may have to research
Internet web sites to find current data if newspapers don't mention
these issues.
The summative is divided
into 2 parts:
(1) Issues Scrapbook (2) Issue Presentation.
