Key
Beautiful
British Columbia
The
Beautiful BC
Web site provides detailed information on accommodations and tourist attractions
in British Columbia. Students will likely need time to explore this site
and to choose a region, accommodation, and attractions. In designing their
contest brochure, students can use a single-page format or create a tri-fold
pamphlet. The variations on regions, accommodations, and attractions are
open-ended.
Students'
brochures should be neatly and attractively prepared and should include
descriptions, photographs, a map, and a title. You should review assessment
criteria with students using the Poster Rubric (AT 3) on page 93 of the
Geographical Regions Teacher's Guide before
beginning this activity.
After
students have completed the activity, review their responses to the Web
site evaluation and discuss the reasons for their answers.
