Trudeaumania!

The last two classes we have focused on Canadian society in the 1960s & 1970s, including 'Trudeaumania' and the rise of French nationalism in Canada.

Tuesday's class included the following:

• Review of 1950s society practice questions
• Notes on Pierre Trudeau
• And then we watched the first 30 minutes of CBC's program "The Greatest Canadian: Trudeau" and completed the following questions

Homework for Thursday was to complete the previous day's worksheet on Pierre Trudeau's 'Just Society' idea and the 3 major protest movements from the 1960s. 

Today's class was a follow up to last day.  We did the following: 

• Got our essays back from the last test and reviewed some tips on essay writing. 
• Reviewed the answers to the movie questions as well as "Quotamania" - Pierre Trudeau
• Did a brief intro to Regionalism (province quote questions) 
• And then did some small group discussion and debate on French Canadian identity and status as a 'distinct society'. 
• We also examined different images from the 1960s protest movements and talked about 1968 as a watershed year. 

HOMEWORK FOR WEEKEND:  Complete handout on French Canadian Nationalism using the index in the textbook, or even easier, using the following powerpoint on Separatism

NATIONALISM WORKSHEET IS DUE NEXT DAY AND WILL BE COLLECTED. 

Please come see me if you need help preparing for your CBC News Shows on Friday, April 25th.  Have a great long weekend!
