Objective: Throughout a critical analysis, you are expected to demonstrate an understanding of the interrelation between one Canadian city of your choosing and the Canadian economic landscape. There are a variety of subjects you can select for your investigation such as the housing market, immigrants’ economic role, the declining manufacturing sector, the rising service sector, the impact of creative industries, etc. I suggest you only select 1 subject in 1 city as this will allow you to conduct an in-depth study rather than simply present a generic overview. You are also required to show an active engagement with the subject and be able to formulate an original perspective on it.
Evaluation: The essay requires the student to carry out an analysis of the subject, and make and justify an evaluative, comparative or explicatory judgement. The essay will be evaluated based on clarity of organization, logic, syntax, and grammar of student writing.
Follow an essay format and make sure your paper includes an introduction (clearly indicating topic, thesis statement, and how you plan to structure your paper), a proper body, and a conclusion (reviewing and summarizing the arguments and evidence presented in the body)
