Lessons
Le chandail de Hockey
November 20th
For the past few classes we've been talking about Maurice Richard and why his career in hockey was so important to the NHL and the francophone community in the time that he played for the Montreal Canadiens. For today you have a few tasks to start, just do what you can, nothing is for homework.
1. Below there are several webpages. Some are articles, some are online exhibits of information on him as well as photos, additional news, articles, and artifacts. Please go through all of them and explore. Read task 2 before you start this task.
2. When you're done, write out 10 facts about Maurice Richard that either you didn't know or you found to be interesting.
3. Watch the videos and think about if there's any link between each of them.
4. Think about our initial question, why was Maurice so important to the game? Why did he gain so much fame, especially among the French community? Does his accomplishments still matter today if so many other newer players have surpassed his records and stats?
Be prepared to discuss your facts, the discussion questions above and the webpages and videos in class tomorrow.

We are expanding on our lessons of activities and sports, and interacting with friends with a cultural study on the popular French Canadian short story, "Le Chandail d'hockey".
What if your mom ordered you a new hockey jersey and the store sent the wrong one...from your arch rival team? It happened to Roch Carrier. We're in the midst of a mini-unit on Le Chandail de hockey, within a mega-unit on les loisirs, and it is a gem. The story's theme is utterly relatable for my students here in Leaf Nation: that one's hometown team is a core identity and associating with the enemy, whether it be the Toronto Maple Leafs or the New York Yankees, is simply unthinkable. Set in 1946 rural Quebec, Le Chandail goes beyond sports rivalries to delve into the relationship between religion and sport and the division between French and English Canada.
We're spending the next few weeks on the story and the cultural ties to the place and time that it took place.
Some of my student Can-Dos are:
I can describe popular leisure activities in France and Quebec
I can discuss past events and say what I've done
I can tell when events take place and in what order
and my essential questions are:
What activities do friends in French-speaking countries do together?
What do activities and pastimes reveal about a culture?
Can I learn French adjectives in a context (sports and entertainment)?
Students will:
• use authentic materials as a means to practice language skills (both aural and oral) and explore related aspects of Québeçois daily life.
• understand cultural tensions between Anglophone and Francophone Canadians.
• explore the sport of hockey in Canada and realize its importance in lives of Canadians.
• use target language to express personal opinions in a variety of ways.
• use target language to organize and summarize information.
• practice target language in written and oral communication.
I've made a packet with interpretive activities here based on the film and book. We will also use a story map activity booklet to help us explore timelines in the story and sequence of events. The packet includes:
1. Ordering activity to do while watching the 10-minute film in silence
2. Key words to discuss the plot
3. Cloze listening exercise with the film's opening lines
4. Interpretive reading activity for the book with key word recognition, important phrases, and purpose
I also highly recommend the visuals found at the Canadian Museum of History's website here. Show your students Maurice Richard's famous #9 hockey jersey, Roch Carrier in his Maple Leafs jersey, and more.
We spend a day working with the film, one or two days reading the book aloud in small groups and completing the reading activity, and then start to retell the story using expressions of order. I focus on the il/elle form of regular -er verbs to start to get students familiar with the pattern, but answer questions about other forms as they come up.
**We may end the unit concludes with students retelling the story in a format of their choice: skit, journal entry, calendar, poem, map, or creative retelling. Here's a description of the assignment with rubric.
I am curious about the Office national du film du Canada's other French-language films and would love to hear from teachers who use them in their French classes.
Possible Extensions:
• Read Une belle soirée de hockey by David Ward or One Hockey Night (English version).
• Listen to the book Encore un but! by Robert Munsch on CD-ROM.
• Read Mike Leonetti series of hockey history books
• We will be having a jersey day in the near future as a class

Did you know that the Canadian $5 bill includes a quote from the opening lines of Le Chandail de hockey?
We are discussing as a group what the varying emotions that one can have, and how we can tell what emotions are being felt by the people around us. Through their body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions , we will practice how to communicate what we are feeling with our friends. Below is a series of clips from some popular Pixar various emotions.
