This site includes a complete history of the Quebec Winter Carnival as well as a description of all its events. The site is updated every year, and is available in English or French.
This official Quebec government site for tourism lends itself to numerous research opportunities. There is a complete description of Quebec's recreational activities, tourist spots, and events. There are roadmaps and photographs, and sub-directories for more than a dozen sporting activities, such as skiing, ice fishing, and dog sledding. Quebec's parks, bicycle paths, walking trails, and natural reserves are also covered. Students will find the information easy to retrieve on this site.

There are 20 Quebec tourist regions; teachers may wish to assign one region to each student and then create a bulletin board in the classroom to display the finished products.
Ensure that students understand the meaning of the word "promote" and why giving away a free weekend package will benefit the resort owner. Emphasize to students that they should concentrate on the features of the resort and the recreational opportunities nearby. Remind them that not everyone wants to pursue "extreme" sports, and that their package should include a variety of indoor and outdoor activities! Students will have to "locate" their imaginary resort, so part of their research should focus on which activities are occurring in which parts of the province. Encourage students to organize the information on their brochure or postcard into information categories, and to illustrate it with photos from the site.
You may wish to use or adapt the following criteria to evaluate student posters/brochures.
