Instructions

- Students listen to an archival sound document called Un printemps 1955 à CFRG (Spring 1955 at CFRG) found in the ?Programming? section on the site. They are not required to listen to the entire broadcast, but they must identify the various parts of the broadcast (types of news, advertising, music, etc.).
- The assignment is to re-create a 1955 broadcast. This provides a good research opportunity to find out what was happening in Saskatchewan at the time, what kind of music was being listened to, the interests of the people at the time, etc.
