The hosts of our show
The producers are hiring two interesting students to guide us on our morning journey through Meteghan. 

They will also be responsible for the background set design (ex. A map of Nova Scotia, Acadian flag, Nova Scotia flag) and finding out some basic information about our town (ex. Main street, stores, everyday jobs).
Some of this information can be found in
Looking at Places on pages 38 and 39,
Looking at People on page 11,
Looking at Work on page 35.
The Weather People

The people in Meteghan need to know what the weather is like. 
You will be in charge of researching what the seasons are like there and creating a weather map.

Try Looking at Places pages 13 and 15.

 

 
The Tale Tellers
    Story telling has been a big part of many cultures for thousands of years.  These tales often teach a lesson and retell history, as well as entertain and delight.  Our show would not be complete without an Acadian folk tale.  Our two tale tellers will be in charge of choosing a story and retelling it in an interesting way to our viewers.

    On page 7 of Tell Me a Story you will find an Acadian tale
    and on page 23 of Looking at People there is another one. 
    Some more information can be found in Acadian Folk Tale Creatures.

The Community Elders

Our viewers would be very interested to know about the history of Meteghan and the people who live there.  Two elders must research and find out what kind of people (including natives) live in the area and if there is anything interesting that happened years ago in Nova Scotia. 

Check out Looking at Places, pages 24 and 25.
Here is some more information about the Native people and the Acadian people around Meteghan.
The Environmentalists
    All of us in grade two are very concerned about the environment and do our best to take care of it.  In Meteghan, they try to do the same.  On our show these guests will be explaining what the land looks like around Meteghan and what they are doing to help the environment.

    Look in Looking at Places, pages 11 and 13, and in Looking at Work page 26.
    Here is some general information on Meteghan and Nova Scotia’s Adopt-a Stream program.



Jobs in Meteghan
    This little town sounds like so much fun, it’s hard to believe people work there!  But of course they do so we need to report on it.  We need to interview a logger and a fisherman who know all about their jobs.

    You can find information on these jobs in Looking at Work, pages 10 and 20. 
    Here is some more information about fishing and logging around Meteghan.
Children in Meteghan
    Of course we would like to know what life is like for kids in Meteghan so we will need to interview some.  They will be responsible for telling our viewers about their school and what they like to do in their free time.

    Check out Looking at Places, pages 42 and 43 and Looking at People, page 11.
    Here are some photos you might find interesting.
Time to Celebrate

    A great way to end our program would be with an Acadian celebration.  Our celebration experts will have to choose one and research what it is about, what food they might eat during it, and any special activities that are related to it.

    There are some celebrations listed in Looking at People on pages 22, 34, and 35.
