Ode à notre sport national
Warning: Alcohol consumption. This pleasing depiction of rural Quebec culture is a perfect complement to history, geography or social studies lessons on that province. Students can compare their own experiences with the film’s references to traditions and family life. Opportunities to discuss the role of sports/hobbies in the development of community and self-concept. How important are heroes/idols to children? Why do we need these figures? Have students retell an important memory from their childhood. Research who Maurice Richard was and explain his role in Carrier’s story.
