3. Demographic Information
On this slide, you will
display demographic
information of your
country. This can
include: population,
population density
and distribution,
languages, religions
and other
information. Include
an image, such as a
map or a picture that
represents the
information.
4. Form of Government & Leaders
Here, tell us what form of
government your country has
and who it’s leaders are. Is it a
democracy? If so, is it a
parliamentary system, or a
presidential system. Does it have
a federal system, or is it a unitary
government? Is it a multi-party
or two-party system?
This is Canada’s Governor-
General David Johnston. He
functions as the head of state,
representing the queen and
performing ceremonial duties.
5. Historical Moment
On this slide, highlight one
important moment in history
that happened in your country.
There are many seminal events
in the history of these
countries, but feel free to
choose something that is less
well-known. It should be
significant, however, and not
trivial. Be sure to include an
image here as well.
This is a painting of the burning
of the Canadian Parliament
building in 1849.
6. Economic Information
On this slide, explain
the state of your
country’s economy.
This would be a good
place to use a graph,
rather than a picture
or map.
7. Highlight two or
three foods or
dishes that your
country is famous
for. You could
include the food’s
history or a
recipe or two.
Here we have
poutine and a
Montreal smoked
meat sandwich.
Food
8. Here, highlight the
major cities in your
country. What are
they known for
and what is their
population?
This is Toronto,
Canada’s most
populated city.
Major Cities
9. Contributions to the Arts
What cultural contributions
has your country made? A
great author or painter, or
artistic movement, perhaps?
Be creative here.
This is Canadian-born Lorne
Michaels, creator and
producer of Saturday Night
Live. This is a still from the
May, 1976 SNL episode
during which he offered the
Beatles $3,000 to reunite,
live on his show.
10. Wild Card
Use this last slide to
present another aspect
of your country that
hasn’t been presented in
the previous slides. You
could talk about sports,
fashion, or anything,
really.
Here’s a picture from a
CFL game between the
Toronto Argonauts and
the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
