COLLÈGE LASALLE Social Science Quebec Society Midterm project: 30% Teacher : Raphaëlle Corbeil JOURNAL STRUCTURE AND REQUIREMENTS Commenting on the news will allow students to gain a better understanding of Quebec society, by thinking and writing critically on issues that are occurring within our society. The goal is for students to examine our society from a sociological standpoint, and submissions must illustrate the use and incorporation of sociological terminology, concepts, and theories, and reflect economic, social and political issues and events (which can range from community events to political issues). Sources: • Newspaper or Journal - Examples: The Gazette, The Suburban ... Provide the reference and the link of the article. • Television - Local news reports and shows Provide the reference of the show, station, time and date of broadcast. Example: Thursday November 7 2020 6pm news report on CTV, or Global National; on Global, broadcast on Saturday October 19 2020 at 5:30 pm. AND the link to the video. * Important note: Not all news reports, articles or/and community events will be issues related to the uniqueness of Quebec or illustrate issues that impact Quebec society. Choose carefully! ➢ Issues of the Language Law: McKibbin's Irish Pub decorative signs which depicted the Irish culture, was seen as illegal because they did not abide by the language laws. ➢ Social event: The 400 th Anniversary of Quebec City was seen as a time of celebration, where there was an increase in tourism which generated an economic boost for the province. It was a time where the celebration of Canada’s history was overshadowed by political issues and separatist pride.
