Title: The Land that Shapes Us
Course: BC-Social Studies 9-1.0.0.0-XT > Section: Unit 4: Canadian History: 1750-1867

Your task is to create a visual presentation that shows the different landforms and natural resources of the different physiographic regions of Canada.

There are seven physiographic regions in Canada. For each region, your presentation will have:

1. At least one photograph and caption that represents the landforms of that region
2. At least one photograph and caption of a natural resource that is found in abundance in that region
3. At least one photograph and caption that represents an Indigenous group that traditionally lived in that region
4. A statement about how that region’s geography, climate, resources, or other physical attributes make it desirable to live in that region
5. A statement about how that region’s geography, climate, resources, or other physical attributes make it difficult to live in that region

For example, one way that the Arctic Lands affected population growth is that the temperature makes it difficult to live in. This may seem obvious, but it is a big reason why the population density of the Arctic Lands is so much lower than the St. Lawrence Lowlands. It is harder to survive there, so less people want to live there.

You can choose to present your information in any format you like. This may include:

- A presentation software such as Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva, or Prezi
- A posterboard
- A video with a photographic slideshow
- A basic document with photographs
- Another format of your choice, approved by your teacher
