View
other films or sources on Quebec City and make a class list of local
attractions a driver might show his clients today, and have students make a
pamphlet or commercial.
If
you were a "calèche" driver in your city or town, what would you show your
clients? Ask, why does the modern city of Quebec still have "calèche" drivers?
Create
a timeline of significant events in Canada's oldest city. Students write a
parody on a daily activity, such as getting ready for school or making a meal,
in the style of the film narration.
