Role Play |
PEI's Confederation Trail stretches from one tip of the island to another, and is one the island's favourite recreational attractions. The site contains information about many different types of wildlife that hikers and bikers might encounter on the trail. In addition to the opportunity the Trail presents for increasing tourism to PEI, you may wish to use the site to spark discussion about how the trail could stimulate interest in the environment and how this might benefit the environment.
This Web page gives students an opportunity to see how governments go about trying to attract new businesses to their province. Help students to see that the purpose of the page is not just to provide information, but also to persuade. The activity helps students consolidate the most important information from the page by asking them to find evidence to support specific statements.
