The United States and Canada

Symbolic Model

In this module, you discovered that while Canada and the United States are two distinct countries, they have many similarities. For this assignment, you have the opportunity to create a model of an original structure or monument that symbolizes the combined cultural landscape of Canada and the United States. When determining the model you want to develop, consider gathering inspiration from existing cultural landscapes. For example, think about the U.S. Capitol, the CN Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Washington Monument, and Parliament Hill.

Along with your model, include a written explanation that addresses the following questions:

• How does this model represent cultural influences and landscapes of Canada and the United States?
• How does this model represent economic activities of Canada and the United States?
• In which region of Canada or the United States should this symbolic model be located? Why?
