HUM 8 Please complete an exit slip on who you think was the most important person in the reformation and why. Point form is ok. Due Fri apr 8 Election mini project due Tues Apr.14 2011 Federal Election Project-Current Events Canadians are in the midst of a Federal Election! An election is the most tangible opportunity for Canadians to participate in their own governance! Elections are the very core of a democracy yet barely half of eligible Canadians take advantage of the privilege of voting for those who would represent and govern them in the Parliaments, Legislatures and Municipal Offices throughout the country. When questioned as to why they do not vote, Canadians’ answers vary. Two common complaints are that the candidates don’t reflect the voters’ interests, and voters are ignorant about the issues and the process. While Canadians cannot legally be compelled to vote (while some say voting is a duty, it is a right--not a burden), the rationale behind this project it is that neither you nor your parents not vote because you are ignorant about the system, the candidates, the issues or the logistics. You will be required to make a few presentations over the next four weeks. Each subsequent presentation is expected to include more information AND more evidence of thought than the one prior. The first presentation is due next class and is intended to familiarize you and your classmates with the most basic information of this federal election. For THIS presentation you may work with a partner, or on your own. ASSIGNMENT #1 DUE _______________________________ You may present the following information in any format—poster, typed point form, orally, glogster, prezi.com, in a Power Point presentation, long answer paragraph, etc. What is Voting Day in the 2011 Federal Election? What are “Advanced Polls” and who can vote at them? When are they held this election? What is the name of the Constituency/Riding in which you live? What are its boundaries? Which Federal Parties are sponsoring candidates in your Riding? What are the names of the candidates in your Riding? How many Ridings are there in Canada? Which Federal Parties are contesting more than 50 Ridings? Name their Leaders. How many seats are there in the House of Commons? How many did each party represent at dissolution? Eng 11 Summative proj is due next Thurs. You will have two more journals due. Before then as well.
