Land is an important part of the Canadian identity, as depicted in a variety of songs, art, and media presentations. Your job in this assignment is to find a song, piece of art work, or a media presentation that shows how important land is the Canadian identity.
For this assignment, you will analyze the following two forms of media (one song and one piece of art). You will need to look at the importance of nature in each and discuss how each shows that land is important to Canadian identity. Each reflection section will be one paragraph (about 4-5 sentences each). You will need to remember that you are focusing on the growth of Canadian identity.
