TOPIC #14 Quebec Nationalism and English-French Relations: The Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism
MY THESIS: UNCLEAR...
I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EVENTS WHICH DEVELOPED THE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT OF QUEBEC WITHIN POST CONFEDERATION CANADA. AS WELL AS THE DEMOGRAPHIC WHICH SUPPORTED THIS MOVEMENT IN 1876-1990'S.
PROVIDED GUIDELINE: This royal commission was also established by the Pearson government in 1963 to investigate the relations between French and English-speaking peoples within Canada. It led to the Official Languages Act of 1969, but it really marked the first awareness in English Canada of the growing movement of Quebec nationalism. How did the 1960s represent a turning point in the interactions between English- and French-speaking Canada? What impact did Quebec nationalism have on federal policies or on Quebec's relations with French-Canadian minorities? Your essay might focus on the nationalist movement or on the reaction to it within English Canada or on the work and outcome of the royal commission itself. The Library has the commission report and supporting documentation in the government documents section or in storage.

PAPER INSTRUCTIONS:
Writing your PaperThe Introduction to your paper should be about1 to 1 ½ pages in length. It should briefly establish the historical context of your paper and indicate why the question you are addressing is an important one. If your research has shown that there are a couple of major schools of thought about your topic, you should mention the major aspects of each one, and then indicate where you stand in relation to them (this is termed historiography). You will then clearly state your thesis –a two to three sentence statement explaining your main argument. You should also indicate what types of evidence and sub-arguments you will use to back up your thesis, and give some indication of how your paper will be organised.
The body of your paper will consist of about 3 to 5 major supporting arguments, with each supporting argument developed over a few paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain one central idea, which normally will be footnoted. Try to structure your arguments in a logical order, whether it be chronological or thematic. In doing your research, you may have come across a strong counter-argument to your thesisstatement. Rather than pretending it does not exist, explain what it is, and then explain why the argument you are presenting is more convincing.If you are using direct quotes, make sure that you both introduce them, and then explain why you have included them, rather than simply inserting them and hoping that they speak for themselves.
If a quote is longer than 3 lines, it should be indented and single-spaced. Please note that even if you have paraphrased an author's idea or argument, you still need to footnote it.You must make a point of incorporating material from your primary sources. Be clear in your writing about how these sources help to support the central argument that you are making.Your conclusion should be quite brief –about one pageat most.
In your conclusion, you should briefly restate your thesis and your main supporting arguments. You may also want to include a statement about the broader relevance of your topic to the period of Canadian history thatyou are examining.You must indicate your sources clearly –plagiarism is a serious offence, and could result in you failing the assignment or the course. You must use footnotes any time you use a direct quote, a fact which is not general knowledge, or an idea which is not your own (even if you are paraphrasing another author). On average, you should have at least one or two footnotesper paragraph in the body of your essay, and more than that if necessary.
