Term test:
-Nov. 6 & 7
-short answer based on documents
-essay, based on documents

-the evaluation covers content about the development of population and its impact on Quebec's society and territory; this includes the following periods:

-the Aboriginal (origins, three linguistic groups, their ways of life, and characteristics of each);

-French regime (problems of population growth before RG, changes after Royal Government, measures taken by the government, results of government measures, pop. of NF in 1760; occupied vs claimed territory...);

-British rule (continuity and change after the change of empire in 1763, changes in population owing to "migration flows," (immigration: Br. merchants, Loyalists, from the British Isles; emigration: French-Canadian to USA)  the changing territory of Quebec (boundaries, inhabited territory...)

-early Canada, 1867-1930

To study:
-class notes & handouts
-don't read the textbook; find various pages (summary, timelines,...)
-examine documents in the textbook, in your handouts.

How?
First: organise all your notes and handouts; make sure you have everything in order... Then:
1. make yourself cue cards, with a question on the front, answer on the back... (eg. What were government measures meant to keep French-Canadians from emigrating to the United States?)
2. use the SQ3R method...
3. study about 20 minutes every night, only
