Unit A
Activity 3

Canada's Modern Taxation System

To the Teacher:

This activity consists of a reading passage and discussion/comprehension questions.

This activity is intended primarily to increase the students' general knowledge about Canada's income tax system. As such, it does not readily lend itself to a demonstration task by itself. However, the information contained in this activity, along with the information in other units could be used as background material for a class presentation or discussion activity. This would be a demonstration of speaking and listening skills.

The reading passage is followed by a page of comprehension questions, including one on facts and opinions. This activity could also lead into a wider discussion of the difference between facts and opinions.
