Symbols of Canada Power Point Presentation
Here is a copy of a handout I gave the students regarding a power point presentation they will be working on over the next few weeks.
Overview:
You are responsible for creating a power point presentation that will identify and examine three symbols of Canada. You should select these symbols from the Canada Heritage site:
http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/index_e.cfm
Selection:
You may select any three from the following symbols:
The Arms of Canada
The National Flag
The Royal Union Flag
The Beaver
The Maple Tree
The Maple Leaf
The Maple Leaf Tartan
National Colours – Red and White
Origin of the Name – Canada
Personal Flags and Standards
The Great Seal of Canada
Process
You will research your symbols during computer class time. Your final power point presentation will be a minimum of eleven slides long. The first slide will be a title page. It should include your name, and the three symbols you have chosen. The next nine slides should have details of your symbols (three slides each). The final slide should be a bibliography.
You should attempt to make your presentation visually interesting and appealing.
Slide Details
You should include a description or photograph of the symbol (where possible). Your details should include a brief history of the symbol, the date it was officially recognized as a national symbol, and interesting facts about the symbol.
