White Squall

THE EDITORS

I teach English as a second language to immigrants and refugees to Canada, and I use Stan Rogers songs in almost every element of my curriculum: “The Idiot” when I talk about leaving your roots behind, “White Squall” when I teach the geography of Ontario, and many others. I am sure my students couldn’t get a better feel for the country than through his poetry and music.
