Canada on the World Stage
Name/Date:_____________________________
This is a mul1-‐step assignment -‐-‐ Here are the parts: • Canadian UN Peacekeeping Missions • Global Conflicts and Canadian Connec1ons • Canada as a Middle vs Model Power They can be done alone or together as a whole, but should each lead up to your response to these connected ques1ons: What has been Canada’s role on the world stage? On what principles or ac7ons has Canada based our reputa7on in the past? Has this changed? How should it change in the future?. This op1onal assignment could be done in a number of ways (in a group, as a debate, in a report, or as a presenta1on or performance). If aNempted, this op1onal assignment will be applied to your Unit 1-‐2 (Ac1ve Ci1zenship) Project mark or your Unit 3-‐6 (Echo) Project mark. This is not a “bonus” (e.g. anything you do is added to an exis1ng mark), this is an alternate and addi1onal method to demonstrate your learning and understand of core learning outcomes in Social Studies 11.

Part 1: Canadian UN Peacekeeping Missions Do some basic research on each of these UN Missions in which Canadians was involved. Your Counterpoints textbook has informa1on on most of these and is a good place to start. Internet will be useful for this, too. 1 Focus on key details like the purpose of the mission, the scale of the mission, the outcome of the mission, and Canada’s role in all these things. You may also wish to have a “notes” sec1on for each mission so you can record other comments. Maybe their were complica1ons that the UN faced in the mission? Maybe you want to evaluate how successful the UN was with its mission goals? You could also comment on the roots of the conflict before UN interven1on -‐-‐ maybe it relates to poverty, ethnic group interac1on, religion, legacies of the coloniza1on era, Cold War tensions, foreign interven1on, resource and development issues (this is also excellent review for these “social studies” ideas). You should also be able to locate the area of these UN Missions on a map.
