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

After Port Royal - Champlain Continues

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!!

Exploration can create misunderstanding because the native people may feel impolite if someone strange intrude them. Although most of explorers were coming to find something new, it can make misunderstanding from the native people, they may think they want to throw them away and be the master of their land because of the gun or armaments they take. 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.

Flat Earth

Explain:

In the first picture, the earth is like a dish. It shows that the earth is flat. There has 3 parts in the "dish earth", different people are doing different activities there. In the top part, a man is
standing in the crops. It looks like he is fishing or taking care of the grass and tress around him. There are two girls with red dresses in the other two parts. They are dancing beautifully and feel close the nature. They looks comfortable and feel wonderful being with the flat earth.

The second picture is shocked and creative. There is a man setting in the top of the big and long stone. Mountains are everywhere around him. Behind his foot, it's a very high cliff. I'm felt horrible when I saw it at the first time. It's very dangerous! The man will drop down the cliff if he doesn't be careful. The picture shows the flat earth because the man is still safe. The peace and the concordant makes me happy. If the earth is round, the man won't be able to set on there.

2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?

a. We can feel the earth is turning around and around.

b. We cannot see the round earth.

c. Our articular is immobile is we don't touch them. If the earth is not flat, they may move by themselves.

d. The building on the flat earth are firm.

e. Everything will rub to the round by the beeline if we drop them down.

3. Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?

NO, I don't. Because a lot of avoidance from the scientists tell us that the earth is round and move all the time.

Feeling

I'm in English10 class now and took the example of the provincal exam before I go to my blog.
It's a little hard for me...I can't REALLY imgine how can I do in the real exams....
That's bad.But I'll try my best to do it.

Exploration!

lcweb2.loc.gov

www.planetary.org (I want to delete it)

All of these pictures are showing about the EXPLORATION~~

The first picture, there are two people climbing on a big snow mountain. They looks very hard doing their job. That's cool! I like snow and the nature with the mountains. Being with the fresh air and the fantastic view must be excited! but maybe they will face a lot of troubles and many different question...maybe the weather is really cold and there lived some aggressive animals that haven't have food for many days...That's terrible! I can't imagine what will happen if they meet they...Oh,I'm sorry...GOOD LUCK for them~~~

The next picture shows the place beside the sea. The people looks very strong and aggressive! Maybe they found a new land just now. They may feel excited when they arrived there,because they were sailing very hard to achieve the dream about EXPLORATION. It's seems like a very beautiful Iceland that they never knew. They were thinking to be famous with the great finding when they came back and took this good news to people in their country. The question is, who is the person that found it at the first time? How can they deal with many people say he was the owner of the land?That's really a severe question.

The place of the last picture is the ocean, too. The ocean enjoyed two big ships. Maybe it's similar with the second picture. It's has some ices on the sea! Maybe the people in the ship is finding the Iceland or ice mountain. The sea-exploration is important for a country because it's a sprirt of persistant. People in this country can learned a lot and be affect by people who came to found another place. They play an very good exemplary role in people this country. That's really important and they also can take many good things back for their country. A another place or some culter. It's very meaningful.

The Fur Trade

www.gamespot.com www.operation-dialogue.com

www.hbc.com

http://www.prijatelji-zivotinja.hr/

All these pictures show me the Fur Trade.

The first one is about a baby seal lying in the white snow. Its black nose and little eyes are so cute! I love it~~Its body is as white as the snow around its. but..it looks not very happy. Maybe it's cold? The weather is so cold in the picture, I don't know if the seal could resist the cold weather. But I hope so.

The second picture has two ships of Fur Trade. The people in the ships sell carcass they found.
I think they are so cruel and cold hearted. I really hate the behavior they did. The animals were so poor and they never did something wrong. Some of them a just baby, but the people never think for them, just think about how can they get more money. That's horrible and more than I could bear.

The ship is sailing along the sea in the third picture. The people there looks very happy and excited. They have to pass the carcass in their boat to another place. Maybe they can get a lot of money instead of the fur trade. So they're sailing the ship very hard, because they looking forward to arrive quickly and quickly. In their eyes, the fur trade is nothing, only the money. I'm really exasperated with them. I hope their ship dead in the water and they can have a punish.

The fourth picture is the most cruelest one. The man is standing with fur trade in both of his hands. It's terrible and really hurtled my heart. It's unfair for the poor animals! They never did something wrong or bad for humans! The man is so bad that he doesn't repent, but even be prond of himself...I hate him forever!

There is a fur trade in the last picture. The animal might be cherish when it alive. But...it's dead!

Someone made it to a comfortable coat. The killer may get a lot of money by selling this fur trade. I feel very sad for the poor animal.....We should condemn those bad people who kill them together!!!

My week~~

Time goes by, it's the end of this week.

I really learned a lot in this sunny week~~The French Explorer named Jacques Cartier, John Cabot and something important about the story.....

The temperature is warmer and warmer now. Spring is coming~~ I love the season like these!

I realized that the provincial exam will be somewhat hard for me, and I only have 1 month to prepare! That's a difficult work, but I think I'll try my best.

The beautiful weekend is coming soon!! I'm soooooooo glad about it! I'll watch TV, Surf the Internet to watch movies and read novels!! I'm also looking forward to go for an outing with my family! Where will we go? Wherever is great, because I'm really happy to be with the beautiful nature!! The sunshine make me feel great!!!

I won't forget to study for the test on Tuesday....

My Literary Essay

Various people in the world show their bravery in different ways. Some of them maybe immolated themselves to save a person. Others could just do something new that they never did before. However, in both "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "the Sniper", the protagonists have a trait of bravery, even when they were facing death.



In the story "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", Sir Gawain is a brave Protagonist who can step forward when facing trouble and keep his promise to the Green Knight. For instance, when the Green Knight cane to provoke the King Aurthur, Sir Gawain was not astounded as other Knights, but "step forward" and said "No one laughs at the Knights of the Round Table". He was brave enough to did what he asked with his confident voice. Thus, Sir Gawain was calm when facing the menace and be brave to retort the Green Knight perfectly. In addition, he was brave to hold his promise to the Green Knight. even he might never come back from the Green Castle. He didn't run away although the Lord Westall enticed him to escape, but just went as he promised. When the Lord always recommended him to "run for life","the Green knight killed everyone who goes near it.".......but even he said"you must escape mow, I'll help you". Sir Gawain still Kept the words he promised to the Green Knight one year ago. Hence, it means that Sir Gawain can adhere to his principles when there was a lure in front of him. In summary, Sir Gawain is a protagonist who has a trait of brave. He protected the King Aurthur even if someone enticed him, he never broke his heavy promise.



In the story "The Sniper", the Republican sniper is a brave protagonist who didn't recoil by the excoriated pain of the severe wound his enemy caused, and he can be calm to think of a ruse which was successful when facing death death. The sniper shows his bravery when he was injured deeply by the enemy. For example, when "the blood was oozing through the sleeve of his coat", he didn't recoil but "broke the neck of the iodine bottle and let the bitter fluid trip into the wound". It was extremely hurt and he was almost paralyzed. Thus, he is brave to resist the pain, not just lying down and wait for death. In addition, he is brave even when he was in the face of death and be calm to think of a good ruse to save himself. "His ruse had succeeded". This idea which flashed into his mind pulled him back from the death. Hence, even when he was wounded and facing danger, he can still kept a calm bream thought what should he do next, and never give up to his enemies and death.In summary, the sniper is a character who shows bravery when facing the antagonist, he didn't give up, contrarily be calm and thought of the strategic ruse in the story.


These two stories show there are examples of being brave. Both of the protagonists show their bravery to the audience, they deserved praiseful. However, there’re a large number of people in the world that are also showing bravery in the news or around life. All of them are gritty by the bravery, just like Sir Gawain and the sniper.

Question1 Find two pictures of John Cabot, post it and Describe his appearance in 3-5 sentences

John Cabot was standing at the Viking Ship in the bigger picture. He looks somewhat old but mature. I think he was very stronge and tall. He was wering a orange .... that he seems comfident.

In the smaller picture John Cabot is asking his follower to do something important. He might be a very actice master and always do well in leadership.

2. Who is John Cabot? Tell me ten facts (real information) about him.

-----

1 John Cabot (about 1450-1499) was an Italian-born English explorer and navigator.

2 In Italy, he is known as Giovanni Caboto (which is his original name).

3 Cabot was born in Italy but moved to England in 1495.

4 At the request of King Henry VII of England, Cabot sailed to Canada in 1497, commanding the small ship called "Matthew."

5 Cabot landed near Labrador, Newfoundland, or Cape Breton Island on June 24, 1497.

6 One of John Cabot's three sons, the explorer Sebastian Cabot, accompanied him on this trip. Cabot claimed the land for England.

7 Cabot explored the Canadian coastline and named many of its islands and capes. The mission's purpose was to search for a Northwest passage across North America to Asia (a seaway to Asia). Cabot was unsuccessful, although he thought that he had reached northeastern Asia.

8 Cabot undertook a second, larger expedition in 1498. On this trip, Cabot may have reached America, but that is uncertain.

9 Cabot's expeditions were the first of Britain's claims to Canada.

10 John Cabot died in England in 1499.

3. Why is he important to Canadian history?

Because John Cabot explored North America for England in 1497 he sailed to what is now eastern Canada. There is some controversy as to where he landed. He disappeared at sea in 1498.

4. Why did he leave Europe?

Because Spain and Portugal were not interested in Cabots ideas So he want to leave Europe to find China or Japen

5. What happened to John Cabot?

With a great sense of adventure, John Cabot approached the kings of Spain and Portugal for sponsorship that would enable him to get an expedition together to similarly explore a new route to the orient by sailing west.

Cabot had met many English merchants trading in the Mediterranean, and there was a large Italian community at that time in Bristol, so he decided to go to England and seek sponsorship from King Henry VII

Cabot left Bristol on his ship the Matthew and sailed west with the intention of finding China or Japan.

Instead, he discovered the “New Founde Landes” which we now know of course as Newfoundland, Canada.

He and his companions then set sail south, travelling over nine hundred miles down the east coast of north America before turning east and back to England

Arriving back in Bristol on August 5th 1497, he was acclaimed as a hero by his sponsors and became a major celebrity in Bristol. The King was extremely pleased to hear of Cabot’s adventures and paid him 10 for his discovery of the “new founde landes” and suggested that Cabot make a return journey to find out more of the new continent

Sadly, John Carbot did not return from the second expedition...We don't know the reason of his death.He may have perished in a storm, or hit an iceberg. That's too bad!

That's the end of John Carbot.

6. When John Cabot reached Newfoundland's Grand Banks, he was surprised to find the large supply of cod.

Find a picture of cod and post it up on your blog

7. Watch this clip. What did you learn from the video clip? Write 5-8 sentences.

I learned a lot from this video.

Cristoforo Colombo is the moet important person who affects John Carbot. After Colombo coming back from serching New Land, John wanted it, too.

He lesded his Viking Ship for a month and foud a beautiful land called Newfoundland as we konw in Canada.

He became a hero when he came back. People loved him.

But he dead during his second expedition. Nobody konws why and when....

That's a kind of tragedy.
