History:
The Jesuits were a group of Catholic missionary priests sent to New France by Samuel de Champlain to convert the Aboriginals to Christianity.
The Jesuits were in charge of developing the Church (religion), education (schools), and health care (hospitals) in New France.
The Jesuits headquartered a mission in Sainte-Marie in Huronia living among the Huron Aboriginals (current day Midland, Ontario).
The Jesuits had an influence on political life and government which administered the colony of New France.
Huronia was destroyed by disease (scurvy), death, and war resulting from the Aboriginals not wanting to be converted to Christianity and Iroquois rivals attacking.
The first French settlement was located in Acadia (present day Nova Scotia) at Port Royal near the Bay of Fundy. A Habitation (fortress, compound) was built and life evolved around farming, hunting, and fishing.
Unlike the French, the British were not particularly interested in colonization but rather profit and controlling the fur trade to gain wealth and power.
The Atlantic (Eastern) coast of early North America was settled by the English, Irish, Scottish, German, and Dutch forming the 13 colonies.
The Hudson's Bay Company was formed by a group of British investors. All of the land in and around Hudson's Bay was claimed and monopolized by Prince Rupert. Trading posts and forts were set up on the banks so British and Aboriginals could easily exchange furs for European goods.
Both Aboriginals and British benefited because both got goods that they could not normally produce themselves. (British: beaver pelts Aboriginals: European goods)

Ensure you have made the necessary corrections to your History responses, demonstrating appropriate sentence structure & language conventions:
The traditional ways of life of the Aboriginals included hunting, fishing, and gathering.
The Aboriginals lived in harmony with nature. They practiced conservation and took and used wisely only what they needed from their environment. They were careful not to destroy any ecosystem. Before killing any animal, Aboriginals would ask for permission from its spirit.
Aboriginals believed in the Great Spirit or Creator who provided them with land for all to use, not private ownership. Everything on earth was sacred and was to be respected. All people were given spirits and special roles by the Great Spirit. They were always thankful to the Great Spirit and gave him praise for this.
Decisions among the Aboriginals were made by consensus after long discussions and debates. Everyone had to agree on a course of action.
When an Aboriginal boy became a man, he would go on a vision quest. He would go to a quiet place, wait for a spirit to advise him, and not eat. This journey of self-awareness would help him transition from childhood to adulthood.
Europeans who seeked new lands and routes to riches included the British, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Basque, and Vikings.
The goal of all European Monarchs was to gain power and wealth. They wanted to claim, control or monopolize new lands and profit from its raw materials (mercantilism).
Finished goods that were manufactured from raw materials around the world and resold for profit included jewelry, tools, weapons, cooking utensils, and articles of clothing made from animal hides/furs.
Europeans accumulated wealth in both gold and silver.
French Colonization:
The colonial powers of Europe included: Spain, Portugal, England, Holland, and France.
Colonization involved a mother country bringing another country or region under the direct control of its Monarch (king) and establishing permanent settlements there (populated with inhabitants from mother country).
The mother country and king expected their colonies to supply them with the region's inexpensive resources, raw materials (not commonly found in mother country) and manufacture them into finished products to be sold for profit so they could increase their wealth.
The Spanish gained their wealth in Central and South America.
Two prosperous industries in early North America included cod fishing on the Atlantic coast and fur trade around Hudson's Bay.
For Europeans, land ownership was a status symbol (high class in society - the Aristocracy).
French colonies were located at the mouth and along the banks of the St. Lawrence River.
France's first colony at Port Royal (Acadia, Atlantic Coast) was unsuccessful because its location did not help establish and develop the fur trade.
Samuel de Champlain was an expert map-maker and navigator; he was known as "the father of New France" because he established a permanent settlement in early Canada for the King of France.
The Habitants were the French workers, farmers, and inhabitants of New France under the direction of Samuel de Champlain living and working in the Habitation along the banks of St Lawrence River.
The French established a friendly business and military alliance with the Algonquin/Huron Aboriginals; the French got furs, food, canoes, guidance, survival skills from them and the French helped them militarily against their enemies, the Iroquois.
The Coureurs de bois or Runners of the Woods, were entrepreneurs - adventurous, ambitious, risk-taking young men of New France interested in exploring deep in Aboriginal territory for furs and making profit for themselves, expanding the fur trade, and creating close alliances with the Aboriginals.

Welcome Back! Happy New Year!
This week, we pick up where we left off and chisel away at the following:
-Creative Writing: The Outsiders newspaper article: we begin by looking at the text features and writing style of actual newspaper articles before we apply these same principles to our assignment.
-Math: we look at Integers (gains & losses) in real-world applications i.e. weather, sports, speed, banking, landform elevation and showcase it.
-History: we begin exploring The First People (Aboriginals) & European exploration/colonization in early Canada.
-Science: we wrap up Separating Mixtures units by looking at evaporation, distillation, purifying, and refinement.
Newspaper Success Criteria we discussed when analyzing article text features:
See layout templates on MS Word, MS Publisher, GoogleDocs newsletter templates

Real-world integers sample:
Some things to note from math shown above:
(+) positive + (+) positive = more positive
(-) negative + (-) negative = more negative
(+) positive + (-) negative = less positive
(-) negative + (+) positive = less negative
(+) positive - (+) positive = negative
(+) positive - (-) negative = more positive
(-) negative - (+) positive = more negative
Besides temperature, consider showcasing any of the following to illustrate positive & negative:
-banking debits/withdrawl (-) vs credits/deposits (+)
-elevator up/down floors
-land elevation below sea level (-), above sea level (+)
-airplane ascending (+), descending (-)
-speedometer accelerating (+), deceleration (-)
-football gaining yards on a play (+), losing yards on a play (-)
-salary/tax increments over years (+) 2% every year or reductions (-) over the years
BE SURE TO SHOW THE MATH, BE SURE TO USE THE APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
