OBJECTIVES / LEARNING GOALS

To celebrate uniqueness and diversity of communities across Canada

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

With Canada having so many diverse geographic regions across the country, families eat many of the same foods, and many that are different. What is a typical dinner meal in your neighbourhood at this time of year? Is it influenced by weather and local resources? 

Challenge your students to create a picture of a typical dinner plate for people in their neighbourhood at night on a weekday at this time of year. They can use any materials available to them and make their picture by hand or they can use a camera!

MATERIALS REQUIRED

• camera
• magazines and grocery store flyers, scissors, and glue
• Free image search engines: Pixabay, Creative Commons, Flikr, etc. (see  Copyright Free Content” on the Kids’ Guide website)
