My Landscape Poem


THE LAKE
----BY Rena
Look, the sky is breathing with the clouds.
Listen, the birds is whispering like a child.
Why is nature so harmonic?
Just because the lake embraced.
When the green water is running,
the sun starts shining,
the mountains are hailing for us.
They said: We're dying to be with you.
When little fish are caught by humans,
the lake is crying.
OH! Please give my children back.
But the rotten people is blinding.
Don not feel despair, my dear lake.
Everything will be fine.
Villains will get punished by the holy nature.
And tomorrow, you are still there,
with my pure heart.
Forevermore.

An Alliance with the Huron Empire

1 An alliance is an agreement between two or more parties, made in order to advance common goals and to secure common interests. When two different countries build a really deep relationship or the srtongest country want to own the weakest country, they can have an alliance. After that, they will connect to be one country.




2 Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons because if the two places can have an alliance, he can got a lot from it. At that time, Hurons and Iroquois are fighting together. He found a lot of places. If the two places can have a n alliance, Champlain can get many beneifts.



3. This picture looks really old and complicated. I realized that two countries are flighting in it when I looked it carefully. Lots of people comes in one way and another strong group comes anouther. There's many ships in the corner. It semms like a large war between two countries.

I think it is a realistic image of the situation because it is animated and vivd, looks like the truth.
I know it shows the conflict between the Huron and Iroquois. It has the evidence of real history.
The map shows that the bay is in the deep green area in the top right corner. The bay is the blue part next to the big blue area. It has the word bay in front of that part.
A bay is a partly enclosed area, inside or outside a building, that is used for a particular purpose.



There are a large number of pictures of those beautiful bay. All of them are pretty well-looking. However, I like this one best. The perfect views in this picture makes me nearly want to cry. The setting sun above the sea and turns the water level gold. The lovely cloud in the sky is almost consis a line. There's stones dancing with the water near us. What's a amazing world I;m looking!

This panting is vivid about the Stormy Weather in Canada. The little tree cannot stand vertical, his hair and back is go in the same way with the strong storm. That's terrible! The bad weather daitory the nature. The trees, grases just want to die!!

When I finished reading this peom, I feel moved.
The wonderful painting come up of my mind again. The peom describes the painting carefully and specific!

I learned a lot from this lesson. Firth, I discoveres more imformations about Camplain. I know about the conflict between Hurons and Iroqucis. At the end, I read a very beautiful peom from

This picture is a map of the St. Lawrence River. I can find a lot of information in it. The river across many provinials like Ottawa. It's long. It has lower river and upper river. Somewhere is a lot of water but somewhere is less
This picture of the St. Lawrence River is soooooo beautiful. I posed it at first when I saw it. There are some bosts over the river, and the sun is fulling down of the sea level. That's amazing! The river surface even turn red with the sun. Clouds are full of the sky! This wonderful view make me want to cry. Imagine how comfortable are people over there! I'm dying to visit there, but it seems to be so far away...



3. Champlain choosed to use a river for transportation beacuse it's necessary. River is the only way connect two lands.




There's a house in the picture above. Although it's only black and white, the house looks big and beautiful. It has 3 floors or more. Strong walls around it. It has a flag on the roof. The windows and doors looks quaint. It likes a castle which Prince and Princess lived in.








5. The fort was a natural fort because Quebec had towering cliffs.

b. The cliffs a natural fort beacuse it's necessary in the nature. It's made by many parts of the nature. It's consis for sure.


6. I learned a lot in today's Canadian Study. I found many beautiful pictures that I never saw before. I know about that cliffs a natural fort.

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN.

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN is looking at me in the picture above. He seems very mature and ancient. I guest he was maybe around 50 years old. He may had a lot of experiences and know how to control people very much. Success must love him and always meet him. He might be famous and ran honors for his country.

Samuel DE Champlain (1567?-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec0. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World. The most important honor he ran for his country is he sat up the Quebec and found the Lake Champlain.


2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?
CHAMPLAIN is very important. Because he sat up Quebec, a province in Canada which has the most population of France. He became known as the father of New France, which was the French part of Canada. He also made a map of New France and the relationship of Iroquois.

3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?
He started explore in Mar,15th, 1603. After he find Quebec, in 1629 . Quebec was captured by the English and Champlain was taken to England as a prisoner. He made a map of St.Lawrence River after returned to France. Between France and Iroquois, they sell fur trades during that history time.








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



The first place Champlain arrived is Quebec, Canada. He sat up the city. Then, he went to explored New France and discovered a city. He named it Huron. He traveled to Ottawa river later. After that, he gave a explain of an area called "North Sea", which people wanted him to found. Then he returned to Saint-Marlo. The native people against Iroquois with the helps Champlain gave them. Finally, Champlain found Ni pissing.



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


After his trip to North America, he found all of new ways that Cartier found and explore by himself several times ago. He moved deeply and want to further his exploration. He was sure that he can get more progress than Cartier. He promised with the king of France to have a discover the mysteries that no one found before. The reason for exploration of Champlain is just like Cabot's and Cartier's. They just want to follow the explorers who got success before and achieve more values by themselves.


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

He and his solders used both boats and ships during they traveled to Tadoussac. After that, they went to Quebec by only boats. They left their ships. Champlain may had a really hard time for exploration. Because he travel for a very long time on foot! Imagine how drowsy he was! It was a great changeling for common people like us. Although it was hard, he never give up or come back. He got a real success.

REFLECTION

1. What have you learned since September in Canadian Studies?

I really learned a lot since I am taking Canadian Studies. The most important part is about exploration. We learned about two main explorers called John Cabot and Jacques Cartier. Both of them ran honors for their countries. We also made a puppet show about John Cabot, that's really cool!! I was lucky to working and studying with my friends in group. Another interesting work I did is our Viking Ship! All of us were creative and hard-working, our ship is colourful and as well as a real ship! I am very pond of it~~

If you have a view of my beautiful blog, you can see a lot of columns and particles full of it. That's all I have learned! Including Viking ships, the Fur Trade, flat earth, what you think is what you see and many more. One skill that I got most is writing literary essay in English 10, although it's so hard for me to write. I'd like to try my best.

I also learned how to find information at the Internet and put them together as soon as possible. That's also helpful to me in the future.



2. What is the most memorable lesson you remember? (if you weren't here, maybe at another school)

The most memorable lesson I remember are our VIKING SHIP and PUPPET SHOW!! Both of them are amazing! I learned as much as the whole world when I was working with my friends. Our viking ship is the most beautiful and solid in the world (I guest...). I still remember that several days, Jessie were working with the design and draft of the ship, Nina brought a lot of newspapers to full of it, Angela made the colours and I helped them to fix them on the ship. All of us are working very hard and through off a large numbers of good ideas. That's cool! We came to Nina's home to made our puppet show every day after school. Laughter and ideas are full of the time during our work.

3. Think about your life as a student here since September. Have you changed? How?
I think I really changed a lot since September. I'm a little quite girl before. I didn't have enough confidence to speak English in a strong voice. after I'm studying at our school, I speak and read English every day with Ms. Chan and my beautiful friends. That's cool and I feel my English becomes better and better.
My life now is also bright, I love all of people and nature around me and I really feel lucky to be there. I'd love to be happy forever.

4. What is your goal for yourself by June? What is your plan to study?
I wish to have a wonderful study life in June. I hope my English 10 provincial is done well and get a whole A report card from school. I trying to do well in my reading log everyday and learn some new words. I know both reading and writing are necessary to improve my English. I'd like to watch more great English movies and find English songs, too.
For life, I hope I would have a good time in two months. Be healthy and happy as now. It's the most important wish for me. If I have those 2 Hs, I have all.

5. What are you most proud of in school since September? Have you done your best?

Yes, I think I mostly have. The most proud of myself in school is my English is improve and I'm happy all the time. I'm lucky to meet my friends and learned a lot from them. I really want to say"Thank you" here, I'll try my best in the future from now. My mom said I'm mature than before. I;m happy to hear that. That means I looks more like a young girl now. I'm proud of myself and want to changed into a young lady.That's cool and I can do everything I want. Thanks my parents, my friends, my teachers and my idle. You ALL give me the whole world. I LOVE YOU!!

They want to keep their Cherish and something important. Hence, it means exploration can cause misconceive by the people from others.

Exploration can also brings conflict between two groups of people because the way that the native people want to keep and protect their homeland is war. They may going to flight and expel them back when they don't know what's going on. So, when they starting fighting, the people who are new there may feel unfair and uncomfortable, they must going to fight back. That will make a cycle and never end. Both if them may have an unhappy ending and get nothing but hurt.Thus, conflict is come from misunderstanding before, it will develop worth and worth after start because the native people want to protect their land and don't want anybody conquer.

Exploration is not always good because people never know the culture of each other.body: One reason that cause misunderstanding of the native people is the action or saying of the adventitious people. They may not know the traditional courtesy and annoy the native people in the way they don't know. The native people will feel bad of the displeasing and want to expel them back.The misunderstanding and conflict is easy to cause because the difference between two countries.

Therefore, Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding because the native people feel displease when someone strange encroach on them, they want to counterattack and people never know the difference between their countries.Now, more and more countries want their explorers going to discover the new lands.However, it has the other side that shows not always smooth. So, the countries should think about both sides and decide carefully. Then, they'll get success, if not, they will get nothing from indemnify.
