Overview
Conscription was an extremely divisive issue in Canada during the First World War. As the numbers of men enlisting in the Canadian Expeditionary Force dropped, the government began to seriously consider non-voluntary enlistment, also known as Conscription. The issue created deep wedges in Canadian society, pitting families, friends, neighbours, and community members against one another. In this assignment, you will discuss whether Conscription should have been instituted as a wartime measure. You will be placed into small groups, asked to take a position on the issue, and directed towards resources to help you conduct research that supports your position. You will also converse/debate with your group members about their arguments and supporting research. 
Select Groups from the Tools dropdown menu on the navbar to find the group you have been assigned to. 
Instructions
Choose one of the following statements: “The Conscription Bill should have been instituted by the Canadian government in 1917 because….” OR “The Conscription Bill should not have been instituted by the Canadian government in 1917 because….” It is recommended that you do a bit of reading about Conscription first so that you understand what the debate was about. When choosing which side to support, think about how you would have felt at the time and place yourself in the shoes of a Canadian living in 1917 — would you have wanted Conscription to be enforced?
The discussion will occur in two parts over a period of two weeks in the course – Weeks 8 and 9. In the discussion, each member of the group is expected to actively participate by contributing a post outlining why they believe Conscription should or should not have been instituted, and at least one substantive post in response to another group member’s statement/research. Each group member should aim to post original thoughts and ideas, NOT copies of other students’ words or work. 
Part I: Gather Information and Prepare/Post Your Argument
Prior to Week 8, students should choose their position (either in support of or against Conscription) and begin to gather sources and information that will help support their claim. Some examples of sources are provided below, but you are also responsible for finding others online or from the University of Guelph library.
You will then consolidate the relevant research into a concise report that clearly addresses the question of whether Conscription should have been instituted by the Canadian government. 
Examples of possible sources:

A. M. Willms, “Conscription, 1917: A Brief for the Defence,” The Canadian Historical Review 37 (4) (1956): 338-351.
W. R. Young, “Conscription, Rural Depopulation, and the Farmers of Ontario, 1917-19,” The Canadian Historical Review 53 (3) (September 1972): 289-320.
M. Djebabla, “Fight or farm”: Canadian Farmers and the Dilemma of the War Effort in World War I (1914-1918),” Canadian Military Journal 13 (2) (Spring 2013): 57.
Desmond Morton, “Did the French Canadians Cause the Conscription Crisis of 1917?” Canadian Military History, 24 (1): 89
Gordon L. Heath, “The Protestant Denominational Press and the Conscription Crisis in Canada, 1917-1918,” Historical Studies 78 (Annual 2012): 27.
Andrew Theobald, “Une Loi Extraordinaire: New Brunswick Acadians and the Conscription Crisis of the First World War,” Acadiensis 34 (1) (Autumn/Automne 2004): 80-95.

Again, you are strongly encouraged to look beyond these sources for others that will also help support your argument. 
During Week 8, each student will compose a post in their respective group’s discussion forum that clearly articulates their stance on the Conscription question, supported by an overview of the research that they have conducted which supports their position. This post should aim to be around 300 words and be posted by Sunday, November 8 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Along with your post, please include at the end a list of the resources (cited according to the Chicago Manual of Style) that you consulted and referenced in your post. The post itself does not need footnotes or endnotes, but failure to include a list of sources consulted or referenced will result in an automatic grade of 0 for this assessment.
See: University of Guelph Library Cite Your Sources: Chicago Notes & Bibliography
Some things to consider when posting your argument and supporting evidence:

Begin your post by clearly stating which side you support and why
When choosing a position, keep in mind the state of Canada in 1917
Think about what was happening during the war in 1917 that might influence your decision
Clearly articulate how the research you conducted supports your argument and provide evidence from this research.
Remember that there is no right or wrong answer here!
At the bottom of your post, include a list of all sources consulted or referenced in your post

Part II: Discussion 
During Week 9, group members will respond to each other’s initial posts from Week 8 where they stated their stance on the Conscription question and why. You are encouraged, especially, to respond to the posts of students who are opposed to your own side of the debate. Although it is perfectly fine, even recommended, to challenge your classmates’ posts, debate, and defend your opinions, you are expected to do so in a respectful and polite manner.
You are required to respond to AT LEAST ONE other post but are not limited in the number of posts you may respond to (the more, the better!) Please ensure your response posts are no more than 150 words and are posted by Sunday, November 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET. If you cite another author’s words or research in your response post, you must provide a list of sources you consulted or referenced at the bottom of your response post. Failure to include a list of sources referenced could result in a grade of 0 for this assessment.
