Task

As the consultant, you will begin by viewing an existing Disneyland Attraction to get an idea of what the president of Disneyland is looking for.  You will then research a specific physical region of Canada and develop a brochure to present to the president of Disney.  If you are lucky enough to have your region chosen, you will be in charge of designing and creating the first Canadian attraction!

 

You will have to research the location, climate, landforms, natural resources, industries and any other interesting information that you discover about your physical region.  This information will be presented in your brochure.

Process

 

1.     View one of Disney’s most popular attractions by watching Walt Disney’s 100 Years of Magic.  Notice how themes have been depicted and how they have been developed in the attractions.

 

1.     Click on the student worksheet to print a chart to organize and record the information you gather from your resources on your specific region. 

 

2.     Check the list of resources to find the information you need to complete your worksheet on your assigned region.  You will need to go to more than one. Thoroughly read and take notes on your worksheet.  You will need to include at least four facts under each heading.  Use the last resource, which is your textbook, to make sure your information is complete.

 

3.     Use the chart you have completed to design a brochure for your region.  Click on brochure to find the outline that you will use to record your information on.  You will need to read your chart notes and organize them into complete sentences for your brochure.  After you have completed the written part of your brochure, you are ready to begin the graphics.  You must draw at least one graphic and have at least one graphic from the Internet on your brochure.  

 

4.     You are now ready to design and make a model of your Canadian Region attraction to present to the president and vice presidents (your teachers) of Disneyland. Use the brochure you have put together and any other information you have gathered and learned to help you design your attraction. Be sure to include an interesting and exciting name for your attraction.  You will be required to use your brochure and model at your presentation.  You may be asked questions about your region as you present.  Good luck!
