Poem of landscape.

Are You Fragmentary

---Poem by Lym

Under the sunset,
Under the sky,
At the world's edge,
Did you cry.

.

You pour the water

into the crack,

attempt to fill it,

but the water never back,

and you never succeed.

.

Tomorrow,

you will proceed to try.

But now,

You sleep under the ashy sky,
just a sleep,
just peace.

As I fly across your land,
like an eagle soaring,

you were aroused.
To brandish your spray,
to brandish your beauty.
When the wind visits you,
he carries the spray,
crash into my face,
to ask me for a cease.

As you are incomplete,
Although you are lonely,
You try to show me,
You are sturdy.

Under the sunset,
Under the sky,
At the world's edge,
You would not cry.

An Alliance with the Huron Empire.

1. What is an alliance? What does this word mean?



An alliance is a group of organizations or countries that have the similar situation or opinion, or that the countries or organizations that have a deep relationship and join together like a group. Alliance means that the different organizations or countries in this group will not fight, will not have a conflict.




2. Why would Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons?



Champlain form an alliance with the Hurons, I think that is because he want to make a friendly situation between them. If there's a alliance, Hurons will not make a conflict with French. That is useful for Champlain to do things here. And for Hurons, they will get the technology from French, they could gain more profits from them and that is good for the trade.They could gather to fight the other enemies. Alliance is worth for both.





3. This is a picture of Champlain and his Huron allies on the left fighting the Iroquois. This is one of the earliest images of Europeans and First Nations people interacting.



a. Explain what you see in the picture in 3-5 sentences. Look carefully at the picture.




I see Champlain and his Huron allies gather to fight with Iroquois. By the alliance, Champlain and his Huron allies helped each other. The French have the developed weapons, that is usually useful for the conflict. And the French and the Hurons stand at different sides, that could scatter enemies' fire, so they could win.




b. Do you think this is a realistic image of the situation? Explain why or why not in 5-8 sentences.



I don't think that is a realistic image of the situation, but it might be similar. I think they could not stand that close. And I think the French of the centre might be not right. His weapon was a gun, he should hide somewhere or a little farther. I have seen a film of French conflict, they let other people stand before them. They are a bit foxy.



4. The Hurons had many economic advantages because of their geographic location and territory. They were located on the southern shore of Georgian Bay, where the fishing was excellent.




a. Find a map of Georgian Bay. Explain where this bay is.









The bay is a part of the second big lake---Lake Huron in Canada.







b. Translate the word bay.




Bay is the connecting part of lake or sea and the land.The depth from the sea to the land become shallow.



5 . Find a photograph of Georgian Bay that you like. Explain why you like it in 3-5 sentences.The vegetation of this region includes mixed forests, meadows, and fields. The sandy soil was perfect for planting corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans.
I love it because of the beautiful view under the sunset. The surface of the water just like a mirror. We can see the sky from the water. Without any pollution, without any man-made substance, it shows a natural view.



6. Take a look at this piece of Canadian Art called "Stormy Weather". The artist is Frederick Varlet. He illustrated the stormy weather of Georgian Bay.



a. How do you feel when you see this painting? Explain in 5-8 sentences. Tell me why you feel that way.

I feel the power and the unpeace, the view become different from the fine day. The water might crash the stone, the wind waves the plants. All the things become unpeaceful. I feel the tempestuous storm that could made a small disaster. The sky changed, the wind changed, the surface of the lake changed, so I can feel the power and the unpeace.

7. This is a poem by A.J.M Smith. It was put together with this image on a past provincial exam.



a. When you read this poem, how do you feel about the Canadian landscape? Explain in 10-12 sentences. Think deep and be creative.

Canadian landscape is really different from the others, there's full of natural feel. The stones over the land, the water, the animals, shows a dusky feeling.But I feel a fragment. A view of beauty, a feeling of loneliness. Just like the poem says:This is the beauty of strength broken by strength and still strong. It shows me a paradox,how does a strength broken by strength. The land stands here alone but shine his beauty to us.

8. What did you learn in this lesson? Explain in 5-8 sentences

I learned about the alliance between Huron and French. The French want to make a peace between them. And the Huron get the technology and goods from the French. I also learned the bays, and I make a sense of Georgian Bay, that's really a beautiful place to visit.

Samuel De Champlain ..

1a. Find a picture of Samuel De Champlain.What does he look like?

He did look like a French, because I notice at his hair. The European in the old had different hair from the other people, but the French are also different from the other European.And the clothes he wore are also for French.He had taper eyebrows. His beard is really funny. His goatee is like a rope, it was tied a knot. How small his eyes are!...



1b. Who is he? What is his nationality? What is his background?
Samuel De Champlain was a French explorer who is important for Canadian history. As all the explorers, he was also a navigator. He was the man who found Quebec. He learned how to navigate ships, and became a naval captain when he was a young boy. His father was also a captain. The background of the world that time was the most important time of development for the world. The whole world began to explorer, and it was also the beginning of colonialism. The technology developed very faster that time and it was good for Samuel De Champlain to explore.





2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?


He explored many part of eastern Canada. He explored Canada four times. He made a very exact map of Canada from Hudson Bay in the north down to the Great Lakes. He found Quebec, the first perpetual white settlement in Canada, and also, Quebec become the oldest city. He was the explorer who spent most of his life in Canada. He found a quicker way to go to Canada and went to North America to teach them Christianity and mostly in Canada. His explorations were
all very important to Canada.




3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?

He explored form 1603 until 1635.
For first exploration, he made a exact map of Canada from Hudson Bay in the north down to the Great Lakes.
For second exploration, he remained in North America and to find the place that french could make a permanent settlement.
For third exploration, he found Quebec and made it become the first perpetual white settlement in Canada.
For fourth exploration,he finally got a quicker way to the Pacific Ocean, and he got the whole map of North America.



4. Where did he explore? Find a map to help you answer this question. Post the map here and then explain.
















He explored north east of North America. He set sail from France to Canada.Quebec there was the most important City that he had been in and he made it become a settlement in Canada. He also found a trading post along the St. Lawrence River and that was the beginning of fur-trading. His second trip was in Atlantic Ocean and he explored the Atlantic coast from the Bay of Fundy down to Cape Cod. When he arrived here, he got a conflict with the native people and killed two leaders of the native people, the conflict last about 100 years.



5. Why did he explore? What were his reasons for exploration?

He was sent by King Henri IV and set up trading posts.And his dream was to become a explorer like his father.He also made a map of North America.I think that is also the reason. One of the most important reason for him to set sail for North America was mostly to make settlements for France. The King Henri wanted to gain more land for France. Another reason for him was he wanted to discover a quicker way to the Pacific and Canada.That could help the European easier to go to North America for trading here.







6. How did he explore? What transportation methods did he use?

He explored by ship.The mammoth ship on this picture was the transportation of Samuel De Champlain. It was almost as large as the warship nowadays. The ship was supported by King Henri IV, he had learnt much about the methods of how to explore. The ship mostly used the manpower, sometimes, he sailed with the wind. The ship was too large and hard for them to control. They found the direction by compass, the sun and the the Polestar.

But now, I know what to do , I could work much more harder even than now.I could talk with my classmates and teachers.
