Trivia Challenge

HAHA! I OWNED YOU ALL!

Well, that wasn't a surprise. I'm Mr. Kassam, after all :P.

I'd like to thank you all for behaving well during the picnic yesterday... Except Danszel - YOU know what I mean!

Seriously, thank you all for behaving well and being my cherubs!

Your homework this weekend is to finish your ISU. As I've extended the deadline to Monday, I don't think I'll be allowing late marks. Also, because you guys have the weekend to do it, PLEASE, please ensure that you have a proper list of citations AND YOUR NAME on your project!

Thanks much!

Mr. K

Trivia Challenge

Hello my cherubim!

  Room 114 at Wednesday there will be an epic beating of students... At The Trivia Challenge. 

I will be participating, and I'd love some support! 

Besides, nobody beats Mr. Kassam.... at Trivia Challenges.

Also - If you do not write your name on your ISU, I will fail you. 

A small favour

To my cherubim, I have a small favour to ask you all:

Please, for the love of Jove....

PUT YOUR NAMES ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.

Nearly 20% of the assignments I have marked so far do not have names on them. If you do not put your name on your assignment, guess what? You don't get a mark, because I don't know to whom the assignment belongs. So all that time and trouble you took to create a wonderful, gorgeous assignment goes down the toilet because you forgot to write down the most obvious thing in the world - YOUR NAME!

I am missing names from a couple of projects - One is entitled "POPULAR CULTURE" and has a microphone on it, the other is called "To Arm And Shield". I don't know whose they are, but please let me know by tomorrow.

Notes!

First off,

Akif, there is no size limit to the pictures. They can be as big or as small as you'd like, so long as you fulfill the requirements from the rubric. 

Second: Andrew, Nayeem, and Eddy, I am posting today's notes on the blog for you, as I realize that you weren't there, and so couldn't take them.

For my 2D1 classes, tomorrow will be a chance to work on your assignment. 

For my 2P1 cherubs, there'll be a few more notes, a chance to correct your tests in-class and then perhaps, just maybe... a debate? :)

Attached are the notes for today, gentlemen! Use them well!

Cda – Identity Crisis and Beyond

- Cdns no support FLQ, but Quebec sympathize w/FLQ ideals: Anglos held pwr in Que, so angry French

- Pre-WWII, Fr.Cda. had highest b.r. in Cda; by 1970 lowest in Cda + high # of immigrants coming to Que.

- Many immigrants came wanting to learn English – Why? More opportunity, flexibility. Why Que not like?

- Official Languages Act, Bill 22 claimed Fr. To be language of Que in school & gov’t office. Only those who passed test could go to English school, otherwise Fr. School.

- Cdns outside Que thought laws were unfair – Bourassa argued Que was island of Fr. In ocean of English

- Nov. 1976 René Levesque and PQ drove Liberals from office, winning 71 of 110 provincial seats. PQ threatened separation fron Cda for 1^st time since Confederation.

- Bill 101 in 1977 – French was used in gov’t, courts and business, no displaying signs in languages other than French. French was also language of workplace – Quebeckers could use Fr. On job and not be fired.

- Immigrants to Que could not send kids to Eng. Public schools. English schools would stll be allowed for students already enrolled or for students whose parents attended them.

- English-speaking opposition to Bill 101 was formed, Alliance Quebec, to challenge law in courts. Didn’t work, so ppl left Que. – 50k ppl left in 1977, along w/many English-speaking companies, relocating to Calgary or Tor. PQ accused businesses who left of practising “Economic Blackmail”. Fair?

- Less than 20% of Quebeckers wanted separation in 1970s. Levesque promised his gov’t would hold referendum before independence.

Also, these aren't all the notes I wrote for the 2D1 classes. There is about a half-page more of notes, so please get those from your classmates - The notes deal with the Sovereignty Association, as well as the Repatriation of the Constitution and its three points 

By the way: Suthan, that was an excellent bonus answer. I am still chuckling. 

Lastly: MAKEUP TEST IS TOMORROW AT LUNCH. DO NOT MISS IT, THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER ONE. 

The following students are writing a make-up test:
