Magazine Reports for HIST 382

The only Canadian magazine for which I currently have files is The Walrus, a general-interest periodical. Watch the space for listings of other Canadian mags locally available. The assignment is rather simple.

1. Study two issues of the magazine. This doesn’t necessarily mean read everything in them, but it means read substantially in both.

2. Determine, from your study of the magazines themselves or from external sources, the nature, purpose, and audience of the magazine.

3. Take some notes on articles you find of particular interest or find of particular pertinence to our study of Canada.

4. Write a brief (250-300 words) report on the magazine and what you read in it. Post your report to the Club Car.
