Canadian Media Scavenger Hunt

Your assignment between now and Monday is to find one of each of the following. In a comment to this posting on the blog, document your findings with a URL and a brief description of what you discovered.

1. A Canadian television show (not an American show filmed in Canada or an American show broadcast on Canadian tv)

2. A Canadian movie or documentary film

3. A major Canadian newspaper or magazine. If it's a magazine it can focus on just about anything, but it cannot be one of the many Canadian versions of American magazines such as Time Canada or Newsweek Canada.

4. An "alternative" Canadian news source (either print, radio, internet, or tv). Something akin to the Seven Days newspaper in Burlington.

A Reminder about your reading and listening assignments for the holidays

When you return from holidays, we are going to launch right in to a discussion of Thomas King's novel Green Grass, Running Water. Have that book fully read by that first class after the break. There may be a reading quiz on that day.

Also, please listen to Thomas King's set of lectures called "The Truth About Stories." On your iPod, they should be under a playlist entitled Native Culture. You can find them on your iPods by looking under the artist "Thomas King" or under the album title "The Truth About Stories." You will like this series of talks a lot, I think, and will get a lot out of this. This is about five hours worth of audio, so make sure you budget some time to listen to it all. It would make great listening material for your return trip home.

I am assuming most of you are leaving for the break. Is anyone sticking around?
