Study geography of Montreal region; identify areas mentioned in the film and examine what makes them popular with new Canadians. Discuss benefits/drawbacks of new immigrants “sticking together” in a new city. Research history and evolution of language laws in Quebec; what impact would these policies have on immigrant populations? Why does Quebec have such laws? Have students present which family/cultural traditions they would keep if they moved to a foreign country.
