19. Art Imitating Life
The Ministry of Canadian Heritage has just appointed your class to fill a new museum of Canadian art that reflects the natural and cultural landscapes of Canada from coast to coast to coast.
Your task is to create an exhibit for the new museum by gathering items to loan to the museum (for a day).
You will be assigned one of four categories and you must coordinate with the other members of your group to create an impressive display.

20. Art Imitating Life
Remember, you must find works of art that reflect the natural and cultural landscapes of Canada. A book, song, or painting by a Canadian is not necessarily reflective of Canadian natural or cultural landscapes. Similarly, there may be something by a non-Canadian that is representative of Canada! Do your research carefully!
The four categories are: Literature, Music, Visual Arts, and Representative Artefacts

22. A Multicultural Celebration
Canada is comprised of many different cultures all living together in peace and harmony. We are going to celebrate this triumph of multiculturalism with a feast!
Each member of the class will research the food and symbols of various cultures that exist in Canada and bring them all in to share with the rest of the class.
Each culture can only be represented once, so there will be negotiation and lotteries if multiple people want to represent the same culture.
