All three nations had strategic interests to cooperate with the French. The Hurons, today commonly known as Wyandot, were associated with the French from the start of colonisation. The French, who viewed them as the most advances nation, in terms of trade and technology,chose to associate with them in order to gain better profits from the North American colonies. In turn, the Wyandot saw an opportunity to cooperate with a power that would undermine their most powerful foes -the Iroquois.
I think Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons because there are must have some advantages that Hurons can help French.
Champlain knew the Huron not only had better fur than the Algonkin and Iroquois, but access through trade with other tribesto areas of even higher quality,so if he can have an alliance with them he can get some helps to do many works.

Reflection

1. What have you learned since September in Canadian Studies? (Or since you started to take the class)
I learned a lot in Canadian Studies.I learned the provinces and territories of Canada. I learned how to make maple leaves and the animals in Canada.The most important is that I learned how to communicate with my classmates better in Canadian Studies.I noticed team work is really important for every students who wants to do works well. I also learned how to make concept map which helps me to study well.
I learned Native Peoples and topography,too.We made PPT to show our understanding in Canadian Studies.I really enjoyed studying in Canadian Studies because I not only learned the knowledge but also I learned how to work well with others
Thanks so much Ms.Chan
2. What is the most memorable lesson you remember? (if you weren't here, maybe at another school)
Business Education is the most memorable lesson I remember. We should created a new company by ourselves in Business Education. I worked with 6 students to create a clothing company which called Purple Rose. I was the leader in this group so I should did more than others. I learned a lot hen we did this project.I noticed it's really hard to solve some problems and it's really difficult to communicate with others. I did mostly a hundred pages of PPT by myself. I still can remember my feeling when I finished this project. I tried my best to do this project. Purple Rose like my baby because I spend lots of time to work on that and make it perfect.
3. Think about your life as a student here since September. Have you changed? How?
I changed a lot in this school. Before I came to this school I didn't know how to study English better. I was studied all the time before I came to this school so I always complained of my life and school at that time.Fortunately,I noticed as a student we can have a really meaningful life. We should find more works to do by ourselves because we should get more experiences before we get into University. My life is really relaxing now although sometimes I felt tired. I think I become more mature than before. Last semester I got really good mark in each subject,but in this semester I can't promise I can get a really good mark in the end.Every subject is not very easy to take and I should put more time in studying and do more practices.
After I had a travel in Canada I think I learned more about life and I change my opinion of studying.
4. What is your goal for yourself by June? What is your plan to study?
My goal is to get an A in both Canadian Studies and English 10.I knew I don't get a good mark in English 10 this afternoon. I felt really upset,but I don't want to complain.I noticed that I still not
work so hard and I don't try my best to do well. I don't want to lose my confidence to study well. I will study harder and harder. My plan is that I will read more English books and stories to practice myself. I will do more works than others every day. I don't want to compare with others I just want to compare with myself in the past. I think I still not find a good way to study so I will try to find it.
5. What are you most proud of in school since September? Have you done your best?
I really proud of myself because I got a high mark in Business Education. I worked really hard in Business Education last semester. I tried my best to learn more and practice more every day. At first I didn't know anything of business. I didn't know what is PEST or Management Theory before I took this subject,but after one semester I learned a lot. I know what should people do before they want to create a new company. I learned how to manage people better. I can't say I really good at business but I can say I know that. I think the final project of business is one that I really put all of my power in it.

After I knew my mark of this term I felt really sad and I really wanted to cry but I didn't do it. You told me this subject it's hard to get a high mark but I still felt sad. I didn't know why.
I don't want to give up tring best because I still want to get a high mark in the end of this semester. I really need you help.

Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding
In the past, a group of people in Canada called Hikings decided to go explore because they wanted to have an unusual life and to develop their country. After they planned for a long time they started their journey for the exploration. They were according to the routes that the map showed to have explore. They felt elated and excited at the beginning because all the objects that around them are different and interesting. Unfortunately everything was unexpected to them that they encountered lots of problems,like they couldn't speak foreign language,they were unwelcoming to the local people and they caused in troubles.

When they arrived at France,they felt interested with anything that around them. Hikings felt very tired after they had a long trip so they wanted to find somewhere to relax in France. When they asked the French for the palce to have relax they felt surprised because they couldn't know what did the French said and the French did not know what did the Hikings said,either. They felt very bemused because they did not know how to communicate with them. Thus Hikings decided to draw pictures to communicate with French and they used pictures to tell French that they wanted have trade with them.

Unlucky,the French felt angry after Hikings told them the reason to come to France. They did not want to others to bother their life and took their resources,so they drew a picture that a man who drove away another man to reveal their decision. Hikings felt indignant after they noticed that French against their demand so they drew a pictures that reveals their angry. Hikings did not give up easily so they drew another picture that reveals their determination and they also showed French the benefit that had trade with them. Unfortunately the French against them again and still wanted them to leave quickly.

The Hikings felt very angry. Thus the leader of Hikings wanted to do someting to exhort French.
A man of Hikings triped a French. Consequently,a conflict happened. Both of them were hotheaded. At that moment French and Hikings were didn't awared that they broke the relationship with each other.This fight abidance in a long time. In the end the Canadian people were failed and they drove away by the French coercive.However Canadian people left over a very bad impression in France. They were left with bile and regret because they lost a really good chance .

Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding. Exploration also waste people's time that get nothing in the end. Because of exploration France and Hikings broke the relationship in then and lost the friendship at the same time.If without exploration maybe the world will be more peaceful and everyone have a quiet life. It's difficult to get somethings if you aren't have heartfelt. Sometimes if you want to get more you also will lose more in the end.

What You Think is What You See

Background Knowledge

The Europeans had no firm background knowledge about North America. Nobody really knew what it looked like or how big it was. Therefore, it was possible the Northwest Passage could exist because nobody said it didn't.

Bias

The European explorers and monarch were biased in favour of the Northwest Passage because it suited their agenda and it matched with their goals.


Immediate Suggestions

Maps during this time showed the Northwest Passage existed. The dream of this passage would be gone when the reality of geography was found out. It was very hard for these explorers to believe the Northwest passage didn't exist.

In other words, there was a kind of feedback loop of false information. Maps that were wrong made people perceive there was a Northwest Passage to China. Look at page 225 of your textbook to find out what a feedback loop looks like.



Question

Answer each question in 3-5 sentences.

1. If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why? I can't believe it 100% because sometimes some points that the people five are not true. Some people think their ideas are right and they use their way to show their opinion to people like make the map. All the maps made by people,people can make it become true. In other word I also can believe in it because people can use facts or the vivid pictures to demonstrate their point like the map.

2. If you were John Cabot and someone told you the Northwest Passage didn't exist. What would you say? What would you feel? How would you react?

I would say you are so silly,the map shows the Northwest Passage is exist. How can you think it's not true and tell me the reason about your opinion. I would feel angry because I think the Northwest Passage is exist for a really long time. The person who against my thought would make me feel crazy with him. Maybe it would make me to use my life to find the truth.

3. Find a map by Humphrey Gilbert from 1582. What do you see in the picture? Explain.

5. Feedback loops help us to see reality as a system. Can you think of an example of a feedback loop from your own life? Look at page 225 of your textbook to help you.
When I in middle school,one of my teacher always gave me lots of feedback that made me improve. When I finished an easy she read it and told me to add more emotion to make it better and wonderful.

Flat Earth

1. Find two pictures showing the earth is flat. Explain what you see in EACH picture in 8-12 sentences.

This picture shows the weather is very bad. There are two ships in this picture. One of the ship is all most falling. The waves ups and downs that looks very scary. The other ship that looks also will be falling. The distance between the sea and sky looks very short. In my opinion this picture shows the earth is flat because the ship looks all most fall that in the water. This picture demonstratesthe flat earth.

There are many things in this picture. This picture shows two parts. The first part looks like inside the earth. In this part includes the sun, star and moon . All the things like the houses and trees are in a same level. There is a person in the picture. Her body in both of the two parts. She raises her hand that looks she need help. This part can show the earth is flat because the person looks will fall out of the earth. The part in the left shows the sun and other things are all in the same plane.

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?

1)People could not live on a globe. They would feel faint.!

2)Many scientist use some facts to demonstrate that the earth is flat.

3)People can't headstand to live.

4)The earth we are walking is flat.

5)Some acient books that showed people that the earth is flat.

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

I don't think the human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today because most of the concepts that the people give have the reason and they also found the example to demonstrate. On the other point,I also can't believe all everyone have a real thought with the earth and the universe. Maybe some people have a wrong concept of the earth and the universe but most of people know the real concept. People understand the earth from the scientist. I think no one can get the 100% truth of the earth and the universe because it's really difficult and no one can promise that his or her opinion is 100%.

Exploration is Important to a Country

Helen Zheng

Exploration is important for countries

In the past, lots of explorers from all around the world spent their lifetime on searching for a new continent because they wanted to have an unusual life. Is exploration negative or positive for a country? This is really difficult to answer, because all the experiences have advantages and disadvantages. A country's exploration to different places in the world is important although sometimes unpredictable events happen. Exploration is important for a country because it can enlarge territories and bring plentiful resources. However it can also cause some side effects such as a war that bring lots of damage for both two countries.


Exploration can enlarge the territories of the country and helps the country be powerful. Explorers found many new lands during the exploration that made the country bigger. Enlarged territory means the country can be puissant. Farming is really important for a country. The country can be richer because of the farming. The explorers can found more lands during the exploration that can stimulate farming. The more lands the countries have the more resources they have. On the other hand, the dimensions of domain also represent the droit. Thus, exploration is really important to a country.


Abundant resources can make the country wealthy and powerful, and the exploration can bring plentiful resources to a country. Therefore exploration is important to a country. As the history shows many resources was found during the exploration of someone. Explorer can find more oil, gas, gold... during the exploration. All of those goods can bring benefits to a country, like make the people richer. The country can use those things to exploit experiment and educate talent people. Talent people can help the country better and better because they can create more resources rather than to explore. Resources can help both people and country, actually they have a connection. Resources help the people to experience more and create more that make the country valuable. Consequently exploration is an indispensability part of a country.

Every event has both good and bad aspects. Just as the exploration can not only develop country but also can cause the conflict between two different countries that bring lots of harm. No one would like to let others to share the house that they live, so when the strangers come to your own family and want to take your stuff, you must feel very angry. Country is like the family in local people's mind so they don't be willing to lose everything that in their family. When aliens come, the local people always think of they want to breach their family. They try their best to have fight with the alien. When the explore find some goods in another country they always want to have a trade with the local people but not all the people like to have a trade with them so this also can cause the clash. Like the Donnacona doesn't want to have trades with Cartier, so the Cartier kidnapped his son. Therefore, exploration can cause damage.


Exploration is important to a country because it can enlarge territories and bring plentiful resources. However it can also cause some side effects such as war that bring lots of damage for countries along with all the other advantages. No exploration means no improve, no improve that the country can't develop. If the country not be developed the level of a country can't be raised, either. The exploration indirect proportion to the development. Exploration do more good than harm that develop the country and make the people happy although sometimes bad happened. Exploration is really important to a country!

Exploration can develop the territories of the country. It helps the country be powerful. People find more lands during the exploration that make the country bigger. If the territory can be enlarged, it means this country can be puissant. If the territory of a country is very small,it's easy to cause disasters. For instance,many people have no house to live and no space to relax . Follow the weather changes some people died. The reason of the disaster is the population changes all the time but the area of the country is changeless. On the other hand,the dimensions of domain also represent the droit.

I was very happy recently. I wasn't feel angry because all of my friends are really good with me.Thanks to my friends(Catherine,Angela,Heaven,Nancy,Mariah...). I think I am really lucky because all of you are my friends. Thanks to some students in grade 11 and grade 12. Your guys are always help me when I in trouble. Thank you to my best friend who is in Shanghai-Ten. You always give me courage to do something.Thanks to the teacher who are teaching me. I think I learn something new everyday not only in study,but also in the life. Sometimes,I was think of the life that in before. I was in compunction because I had some firends that are very bad. I used my real heart to get along well with them,but they didn't use their real heart to make a friend with me. I was really sad when I noticed that,but now I was happy because I found they are not good very early. I am happy now because the people who around me are really good with me. I have more deep thinking of my life now. I know which friend I should make and who I should use my real heart to get along with. I know some students in school always want to do something to hurt me,but I should tell them that I am very stronge. I don't know what will happen in the future but I just want to grasp the happiness that I have now.

Keep doing what you want to do

Keep doing what I want to do. Today I had a talk with Ms.Chan about my study. After I had a talk with her I think I am not really hard work for my studying. Sometimes I think I am studying hard,but actually I am not. This is just a thought in my heart that I 'm studying hard. I have a dream to go to UBC, but the only way I can go there just to study harder and harder. Compare with other students that around me,I think I'm not study hard. I always think I have my own to life and study,I don't need to compare with others. The true life tell me that's impossible. To be honest,I can not say I really like studying,but I really like the emotion that I improved. I know what I want in the future where I want to go in the future. Studying is a good way for my to improve. I am a girl who really want to know all the knowledge in this world. I will try my best to let my dream come true.

Exploration is important for countries

As this picture shows the exploration can helps the country be more bigger. Like this picture shows there are some people in a land near the sea where is no house and the local people. The leader of those people puts the flag to the land in this area. Maybe it's means that area belongs to them now. The exploration can increase the area of a country and let the people have more space to do activities. Maybe exploration also can let more people have a house to live.

Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding

http://www.yxfan.com/upload/2008-1-13/13/2008011346979393.jpg

The exploration can cause conflict between two different countries. Like the explore wants to have expolration to another country,but the leader of this country doesn't want to stranger to come to their land. This is the reason that cause the conflict and misunderstanding. No one want to strangers to take their own resources,so this also will cause the conflict. In a word all the people wants their family is the best.
