2. Why would Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons?
Champlain wanted to form an alliance with the Hurons, the most important reason is he can get benefits. Forming an alliance can expand the fur trade in the world, because they have an immovable company-- the alliance. Champlain also can consolidate his the king of the fur's status. If Champlain formed an alliance, it's easier and more convenient for fur trade. Because they can have a legitimate approach.
3. This is a picture of Champlain and his Huron allies on the left fighting the Iroquois. This is one of the earliest images of Europeans and First Nations people interacting.a. Explain what you see in the picture in 3-5 sentences. Look carefully at the picture.b. Do you think this is a realistic image of the situation? Explain why or why not in 5-8 sentences.
It's two groups of people are fighting. Oh~~! A war!! Iroquois' weapons are bow and arrow (a little bit lagging...), and they fights without clothes, looks like the primitive. Another group of people wear armors and they are Champlain and his Huron allies. They use their guns to kill several people. Yes, it is a realistic image of the situation. War is ferocious and sad. Gap of the strength between Iroquois and Champlain and his Huron allies is very big. Although there are many Iroquois, they still have many partners are killed. Their weapon is one of the most important reasons that depend on their victory or defeat. So, this is a realistic image of the situation.
4. The Hurons had many economic advantages because of their geographic location and territory. They were located on the southern shore of Georgian Bay, where the fishing was excellent.
a. Find a map of Georgian Bay. Explain where this bay is.
http://www.muskieontario.com/georgianbay.htmlIt's near the French River and Thrity Thousand Island. On this map, it is on Killamey Mountain Lodge's right, Pleasant Cove Resort' s left.

5 . Find a photograph of Georgian Bay that you like. Explain why you like it in 3-5 sentences.The vegetation of this region includes mixed forests, meadows, and fields. The sandy soil was perfect for planting corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans.
I like this photograph of Georgian Bay. Vegetation grows frondently. Grey beside the river. The colour of the river is sky blue. The white horizon make people can know where sky is and where the river is. Water is very clean, people can see the bottom clearly though water.6. Take a look at this piece of Canadian Art called "Stormy Weather". The artist is Frederick Varley. He illustrated the stormy weather of Georgian Bay.
a. How do you feel when you see this painting? Explain in 5-8 sentences. Tell me why you feel that way.
When I see this painting, I feel a little bit sad and depressive. It makes me guess the artist's mood is terrible. Sky should be blue, clean and bright, but in this painting, the colour of sky is dark and is negative colours. The river is not peaceful at all. A tree beside the river looks really grievous like a person. Environment is silent but dejected. People can't find esperance and vitality in this picture. So I feel sad and depressive.7. This is a poem by A.J.M Smith. It was put together with this image on a past provincial exam.
a. When you read this poem, how do you feel about the Canadian landscape? Explain in 10-12 sentences. Think deep and be creative.The Lonely LandA.J.M. Smith
Cedar and jagged fir
uplift sharp barbs
against the gray
and cloud-piled sky;
and in the bay
blown spume and windrift
and thin, bitter spray
snap
at the whirling sky;
and the pine trees
lean one way.
A wild duck calls
to her mate,
and ragged
and passionate tones
stagger and fall,
and recover,
and stagger and fall,
on these stones -
are lost
in the lapping of water
on smooth, flat stones.
This is a beauty
of dissonance,
this resonance
of stony strand,
this smoky cry
curled over a black pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pines
and curdles the sky
from the north.
This is the beauty
of strength
broken by strength
and still strong

When I read this poem, I felt that Canadian landscape was beautiful and different with the other countries. Canada is a country that is very cold. But snow also can cause a nice landscape that is another beauteousness. Many people think that cities are warm and with so many flowers, trees, rivers and green mountains are beautiful. However, a city is surrounded by snow that is like a white world is also really beautiful. It doesn't have many colours, just is white and blue. Many kinds of trees are growing there, deers, rabbits are living there. Although the weather often is snowy or rainy, although sky often is grey, it still gives people a peaceful, silent and comfortable feelings. Air is clean, though it is a little bit cold; sky is clean, though sometimes it is French grey. In that snow world, people still can see many green forests, towering trees, running streamlet, emerald green lichen. It is like spring, right? Therefore, Canadian landscape is a world that include spring and winter at the same time. It's a colour and drab landscape.
8. What did you learn in this lesson? Explain in 5-8 sentences.
In this lesson, I learnt a lot. At first, I knew what an alliance is and the meaning of it. I learnt the reason of Champlain wanted to form an alliance with the Hurons. Then, I know the conflict between Champlain and Iroquois by a picture of Champlain and his Huron allies on the left fighting the Iroquois. It reflects the situation. After it, I learnt about Georgian Bay. I knew where it is and what it is, and I knew the landscape in there. Finally, I got the conclusion of the Canadian landscape by a picture and a poem.
