La Chaise Berçante
the Rocking Chair

CD-ROM, 2001 ©University of Calgary

An educational and cultural CD-ROM based on CRAC! For all who love French language and culture. Recommended for ages 11 to adult. This CD uses an Oscar-winning animation to teach and promote the French language and French-Canadian culture. The film CRAC! tells the story of the evolution of Quebec society through the life of a rocking chair. The rocking chair has particular significance in the history of Quebec and, in this story, illustrates the rapidly changing world in which we live.

In addition to the outstanding 15-minute animation from Societe Radio-Canada,
La chaise berçante contains hours of interaction at three degrees of difficulty.

• video clips from a televised interview with Frederic Back, the film's creator
• Canadian art by Krieghoff, Gagnon, Thomson, Borduas, Molinari, Riopelle & others
• songs including one by Quebec singer/songwriter Claude Dubois
• traditional French-Canadian folk dances
• computer-based activities
• a multimedia lexicon of over 1,000 words
• La chasse-galerie, a legend narrated in two distinct styles
