Canadian Bacon: A Canadian Film
Canadian Bacon is a comedy that makes fun of the Canadian and American relationship, as well as their culture or better yet our stereotypes. This film was directed by Michael Moore, the same director who created Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9-11.
Purpose of viewing:
-To collect examples that will add to your understanding of what you believe the Canadian Identity to be.
-To identify the intended audience and the message Michael Moore wanted to achieve
-To make personal connections to the film as a Canadian.

The purpose of this project is to get you to think critically about a topic that you believe to be important to our identity as Canadians. Remember we have tried to focus on Canadian identity in this course.

Discuss with your students what it means to be Canadian. Start by watching this short commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRI-A3vakVg (You may choose to cut the beverage part out at the end or just use the sound at that point in the video.)

All other materials you need to do are attached including a rubric, parent letter, project planner with choices.

"To what extent is identity (personal and national) shaped by conflict?
This is the question found at the centre of the 5 lessons that make up the education package for From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars. If used as a whole, the lessons will guide students through a journey to understand identity – that of themselves, their nation and the historical actors that shaped it. What follows is an overview of each lesson:"

1. Personal identity
2. Canadian identity and the grand Canadian narrative
3. Individual Canadian experiences
4. Designing a pilgrimage
5. Designing a memorial
