February 15


I covered a few concepts from Chapter 3 that sometimes cause students problems. I went through what the following concepts meant: CRTC, CBC/SRC, CAVCO, CanCon, and cultural protectionism. We also brainstormed a list of favorite TV shows and musical acts to see if our list matched up to Canadian content requirements. I did a homework check on your Chapter 3 Key Terms and Questions today, and I assigned your Chapter 4 Key Terms and Questions (due on Tuesday, February 22nd). Please remember that your Illustrated Concept Map is due on Thursday, February 24th, get working on it! Your Chapter 1-2 Quiz is on Wednesday, February 23rd, please see the study guide below. Please check your e-mail!

1. Study your Chapter 1 and 2 Key Terms

2. Review the case studies from the textbook in Chapters 1 and 2, specifically the Metis, the Francophones, the Hmong, and the Maori

3. Be prepared to answer any of the "Questions for Inquiry" from Chapters 1 and 2 (they are on the following pages: p.9, p.14, p.20, p.29, p.35, p.39):
