Official Power: British Rule (Mar. 31-Apr. 4)

Blue group: Homework for Tuesday
- read textbook, pp. 123-124
- complete pink booklet, p. 1 & 2 (question, map, government structure)

Orange, Red and Repeater groups (Monday, Mar. 31):
-We will examine relations between the British governor (official power) and the new British merchants (interest group) in "Quebec" in the 1760's (textbook pp. 121-122). After we've completed the slide of notes, you will summarise what you learned about their relations in 2-3 lines.

-You will read a booklet in class entitled, "A Period of Change." The questions below accompany this reading (if you want to print them and bring them to class, you may do so!).

These questions call upon certain "intellectual operations." They require you to: establish facts, make comparisons, determine explanatory factors and establish connections between facts.

"A Period of Change"
1-Explain why the British government passed the "Constitutional Act"?
2-What changes were made to Quebec in 1791?
3-How were Lower Canada and Upper Canada different? How were the two colonies similar?
4- Explain the power of the Governor in B.N.A between 1791 and 1848.
5-What problems developed in Lower Canada as a result of the new structure of government?

The provincial election is fast approaching; how would you vote, if you were eligible? Try CBC's.
