This year, you are supposed to learn to "explain why people came to live in New France and describe the impact of European immigration on First Nations settlements". This means that I need to show you the appeal of New France from all three sides (The British, The French and the First Nations People). We have been working on this in History class for a couple of days now.
I thought maybe people would like more information on this, so I found a great site for you to look at. If you visit 1759, you will be able to see many aspects of New France through the eyes of the British, the French and the First Nations people separately.
Keep in mind, you have journal entries to write. Feel free to use "1759" as a resource for ideas for this journal. Remember that using a site as a reference does not mean you can copy and paste directly from the site. I would like your own thoughts.

Parents: The above curriculum expectation can be found in the Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines for Social Studies, History and Geography. Your children have received the journal entry assignment already. It has come complete with a rubric to help them to gauge their process along the way to completion. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me through the blog, a phone call, or coming to see me at the school.
