French-English Relations - Introduction to the Unit

1. As a class, we will read P. 205 of Counterpoints – FLQ manifesto. Ask students what they think that the chapter is about?
-Ask class: how many nations are in Canada? -What is a nation (geographical/Culture/language/identity/government/ can there be a nation within a nation? Should we consider everyone a distinct nation? -Aboriginals, French, English… where do we stop? 2. Mr. Fitton will play a History bites clip: "Cultural identity." The Quebecois fear their culture will be overwhelmed. -Mr. Fitton explained "Hyphenated Canadianism" (Anglo-Canadian, Irish-Canadian, Ukrainian-Canadian --- or should we be Canadian – more like the USA melting pot or our multiculturalism) 3. Canada Car Ride clip. To show the diversity of Canadians, we watched a history bites clip. If Canada and its provinces were in a car on a road trip, what would it look like? |
