Well, I have a major geography due in two weeks, and our teacher cares alot about appearance/creativity. The assignment is to find newspaper articles over the semester that relate to each of the following categories:

1. Canada’s Natural Diversity
-Parks, conservation, unique landforms

2. Canada’s People
– Cultural diversity, rural/urban issues, immigration/emigration, First Peoples

3.Canada’s Natural Resources
– Water, fish, forestry, etc.

4. Global Connections
– Interaction with other nations

5. Geo-technology
– Aerial photography, GPS, GIS, satellite imagery

Now, I’m supposed to summarize each article and write an analysis/reflection on it. But our teacher wants us to organize it or put it in some special, creative, funky style. I have no idea what I should do =S Any suggestions? Our course is on CANADA.
