Brief “lesson launcher type” activity or a series of inquiry questions with a bit of context:
A fictional news program in which two students discuss some of the political sights and sounds of Ottawa with a reporter on the scene.
Why choose this news-style format? What was the value of having an absent-minded reporter figure who stumbled through the city?
Which destinations did the reporter manage to visit? Are these all available to the public?
Was this a thorough trip to Ottawa? What was missing? Whose voices were missing?
