The goal for this project is to have groups publish a magazine that focuses on a place in the world such as Quebec, Canada. The magazine should have articles written from several different perspectives, news stories, graphics, and illustrations. At least one article must focus on the future. For example, a hypothesis on what might be the outcome of Quebec's separation for Canada and the U.S. and how it affects them and why it is important.

 The students will work in groups of 4-6 people. The scenario is that the groups have just formed a magazine publishing corporation. The group must select a title and assign each member a duty (such as editors, journalists, and graphic artists.) The group will receive the same grade for the project and also submit and receive peer evaluations. The magazine should be done in APA format and on a word processor. The editor in chief only has to do one article for the project. The magazine should include the following: name of magazine, table of contents, list of all publication members and their responsibilities, a minimum of 2 stories per person about the subject of your magazine, and a minimum of 1 fiction story, poem, rap, or work of art per person. All articles must have maps that accompany them and charts and tables should be used when appropriate. Use of the internet to access some information is mandatory. Each person is also responsible for at least one political cartoon, pertinent advertisement, word search, crossword puzzle, or letter to the editor about the subject.

 Some ideas for the magazine could include the caste system in India, homelessness in the United States, water issues in the Middle East or the role of an Islamic woman.
