Extractions: Les Voyageurs du Quebec. "The History of Early Quebec, Canada, and its Explorers." Introduction Flags of Canada Process Quests ... Maps Introduction The Voyageurs of Quebec were the first of many immigrants to Canada. These hardy pioneers came from France to live, hunt, and tame the forests and streams of a new world. To these French speaking immigrants, they were seeking to create a "New France", just like English colonists were seeking to create a "New England." These pioneers met many hardships such as hostile Indians, famine, and every conceivable danger that nature could throw at them. The Saint Lawrence River (St. Laurent in French) was the key to settling this new region of North America. "Quebecois" (French speaking pioneers and trappers) relied on the St. Lawrence and its tributaries to provide access to the rich interior of Quebec. Hunting beaver, fox, and other animals for their furs, these voyageurs traveled deeper into the region. In the process, the voyageurs helped develop a unique and different culture than the rest of North America. This culture was predominantly a French speaking, Catholic, and rural population that eventually was forced to survive in an increasing sea of Anglophones (English speakers). Understanding the history of these early voyageurs is essential to understanding the current realities Quebec faces today. You will be given a series of guiding questions and maps to focus your exploration of selected web sites. Sit back and explore the world of

http://www.plpsd.mb.ca/amhs/history/quebec.html

Extractions: The Quebec Act was passed on June 22nd, 1774 by the British government, and became effective May 1st, 1775. It was framed largely by Gov. Sir Guy Carleton, although not all of his policies were incorporated into it. The Quebec Act guaranteed the use of French civil law and British criminal law. It also guaranteed French Canadians the right to practice Roman Catholicism. The Act allowed the Catholic Church in Quebec to collect tax from it's members. Another part of the Quebec Act guaranteed the preservation of the landholding system at the time (the seigneural system). Under the Quebec Act, the colony would be governed by a governor and 17 to 23 appointed counsellors, but an elected assembly would not be provided. The Quebec Act gave Quebec control over much of what is now Quebec, Ontario, and the Midwestern United States. The American settlers became enraged when Quebec acquired Indian Territory, which they believed to be theirs by right. The Americans considered the Quebec Act to be one of the "Intolerable Acts", which may have cotributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution. The Quebec Act was passed to settle questions about the government and law for the French, but the British had a more selfish reason for passing the act. The British had a possible revolution in the Thirteen Colonies, and they wanted to have French support if the revoultion began. The British at least wanted to keep the French in Quebec from joining it.

Extractions: breadCrumbs("www.qesnrecit.qc.ca/reform","","index.php","smallnotes","smallnotes","0"); Teaching to a Better Test - Modeling the History Process in an Alternative to the History of Quebec and Canada Exam Challenged with the need to help Grade 10 students better prepare themselves for the History of Quebec and Canada (History 414) exam, teachers Ralph Mason (now V.P. at D'Arcy McGee), Jeralyne Manweiler and Steve Altenberg, from Philemon Wright High School at the Western Quebec School Board, took action. Recognizing the paradigm shift that would be required to implement the QEP at the Secondary level, the teachers saw a need to develop a final exam that would more closely match the spirit of the upcoming curriculum. They applied and received funding for a pilot program inspired by the current ELA process exams and the actual practice of history. This led to the creation of materials used to supplement the workbook currently used by their students and a series of process-oriented alternatives to the History 414 final exam. The assessment tools were piloted with students and used for review purposes prior to the examination period. This website documents the teachers' process and in doing so, raises some of the broader issues related to evaluation and assessment in the education system.

Quebec Report - Kevin Kee
Towards a New World history and Citizenship Course in quebec. Return to Columns In quebec, history is a mandatory subject until Grade 11.
http://www.quasar.ualberta.ca/css/Css_38_2/CLquebec_report_kevin_kee.htm

Extractions: Return to Columns Several years ago, cultural commentators lamented the apparent death of Canadian history. Whatever the state of the subject in English-speaking Canadian schools, history has been alive and well in Québec for some time. The development of a new curriculum is testament to this fact - once the "Réforme" is in place, students in Québec schools will study more history than their counterparts in other provinces. But if history in Québec is healthy, it is also hotly contested. The recent release of a new Grade 7 and 8 world history and citizenship course raises interesting questions about why and how we teach history and citizenship, questions that educators in the rest of the country may also be facing in the years to come. In Quebec, history is a mandatory subject until Grade 11. Within the curriculum as a whole, the Québec Education Program (QEP) highlights "Geography, History and Citizenship Education" as one of five core "Subject Areas". As the title indicates, the creators of the QEP consider teaching about one's past to be central to an understanding of one's civic identity in the present. The connection is not unique to Québec – educators across the country agree that, while students can learn to become good citizens in a variety of contexts, history can play a special role in providing young people with a sense of place in the world.

Towns mentioned often in early conversations (c1950): Gracefield, Wakefield, Masson, Maniwaki, Ile des Alumettes, Moose Creek, Ont., Gatineau, Brennan's Hill, Brunelle Hill, Buckingham. The Ottawa and Gatineau Valleys are English/French bicultural. Usually, in a linguistically mixed marriage, the language of the mother becomes that of the household. It has been suggested that Brennan was francicized to Brunelle in some families, because of the difficulty of pronouncing Brennan in French.

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA The Quebec Act of 1774 The loyalty of the new province was soon put to the test. Within a year of the passing of the Quebec Act, the rebelling 13 Atlantic colonies sent two armies north to capture the "fourteenth colony." Sir Guy Carleton, the British governor of Canada, narrowly escaped capture when one of these armies, under Richard Montgomery, took Montreal. Carleton reached Quebec in time to organize its small garrison against the forces of Benedict Arnold. Arnold began a siege of the fortress, in which he was soon joined by Montgomery. In the midwinter fighting that followed, Montgomery was killed and Arnold wounded. When spring came, the attacking forces retreated. During the rest of the American Revolutionary War, there was no further fighting on Canadian soil.

http://www.linksnorth.com/canada-history/quebecsep.html

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF CANADA Quebec Separatism Beginning in the 1960s Quebec was the center of militant agitation to separate it from Canada and establish a French-speaking nation. In 1969 French and English were both declared the official languages of Canada. In 1970 terrorist acts by alleged separatists were climaxed by the kidnapping and murder of Quebec's minister of labor and immigration, Pierre Laporte. The federal government sent in troops and temporarily suspended civil liberties. In 1974 French became the official language of the province. A party pledged to Quebec separatism won the 1976 provincial election and passed several measures to strengthen the movement. Under a controversial law adopted in 1977, education in English-language schools was greatly restricted. The charter also changed English place-names and imposed French as the language of business, court judgments, laws, government regulations, and public institutions. Although the separatist party retained power, a referendum to make the province an independent country was rejected by the Quebec voters in 1980. The Quebec government opposed the 1982 constitution, which included a provision for freedom of language in education, and unsuccessfully sought a veto over constitutional change. In 1984 the Supreme Court ruled against Quebec's schooling restrictions. In 1987 the Meech Lake constitutional accord recognized Quebec as a "distinct society" and transferred extensive new powers to all the provinces. Quebec promised that it would accept the 1982 constitution if the accord was approved by all the rest of the provinces. The House of Commons ratified the Meech Lake accord on June 22, 1988, but the accord died on June 23, 1990, after Newfoundland and Manitoba withheld their support. A new set of constitutional proposals hammered out by a parliamentary committee was agreed upon in 1992. They called for decentralization of federal powers, an elected Senate, and special recognition of Quebec as a distinct society. In a referendum held in October 1992, Canadians decisively turned down the constitutional changes. Quebec voters narrowly rejected secession from Canada in a 1995 referendum.

By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, Great Britain acquired New France. In an attempt to conciliate the French inhabitants, the British passed the Quebec Act of 1774, under which the colony was allowed to continue its semifeudal system of land tenure and to retain its language, religion, legal system, and customs. After the American Revolution, many British Loyalists came to settle in Quebec. By the Constitutional Act of 1791 the British separated the area west of the Ottawa River and created the colony of Upper Canada (now Ontario) there. Quebec became known as Lower Canada, and in 1791 the first elective assembly was introduced. The resentment of leaders of the French community toward the British precipitated a revolt in 1837 led by Louis Papineau . Although the rebellion was crushed, the disturbances in Upper and Lower Canada caused the British to send the Earl of Durham (see

http://www.republiquelibre.org/cousture/FRANC2.HTM

Extractions: The French that is spoken in Québec is very different from all the other varieties of French that exist in the world. Nevertheless, it is still French and not a creole, a dialect or a patois. It is not a regional French either, since this term only applies to a variety of French spoken in a region of France. Québécois French is nothing else than a national French. When the first contacts occur, a French speaker from outside of Québec may have some difficulties with the accent or certain local expressions, but he should get accustomed without great difficulty. First of all, it is important to specify that we are talking about a Québécois French here, and not a Canadian French. Indeed, there is at least one other French-speaking community in Canada, the Acadien community, and their French is different from ours when it comes to the accent and to the local lexic. Why is Québécois French so different than the variety spoken in France anyways? The answer, as it is often the case, can be found in the past. Many texts confirm that, towards the end of the 17th century , everyone in New France speaks French. At that time, in France, the patois are still numerous and in great use, and two inhabitants on five are completely unable to understand French. Only one Frenchman on five can understand and speak it fluently. The difference between France and New France is therefore quite incredible. In

Nearby was the village of Stadacona, which had "the best possible land and bountiful too." Some five hundred Iroquois lived there in longhouses. Aside from the spoils of hunting and fishing, they lived off the land, cultivating corn, squash, and beans. For the Europeans, their first Laurentian winter was a tragedy. Ill-equipped to affront the cold, the snow, hunger, and especially scurvy, which wiped out a part of the crew, Cartier's men were saved at the last minute by annedda , a tea made from white cedar. In May 1536, the survivors returned to France after kidnapping several inhabitants of Stadacona and the village chief, Donnaconna. The captives would never see North America again.
