2. The New Horizon
The Scenario: The year is 1534. After weeks at sea with nothing but the taste of salt and the sound of creaking wood, your ship finally reaches a rugged, green coastline. You are one of the first European explorers to set foot on this land (what we now call Canada).
Your Task: Write a journal entry (7–10 sentences) describing your first 24 hours. As you write, consider the following:
-
The Land: What does the air smell like? Describe the scale of the forests, the clarity of the water, or the animals you see that you’ve never encountered in Europe.
-
The People: You encounter a group of Indigenous people. Instead of focusing on conflict, describe their technology and lifestyle—how are their homes built? How do they dress to suit this specific environment?
-
The Atmosphere: How does the "life" here feel different from the crowded, noisy cities you left behind?

2. Electives Afternoon - make a choice, have your family sign and return
To Do . . .
1. Your Task: Write a journal entry (7–10 sentences) from the perspective of either Chief Donnacona or one of his sons. Your writing should reflect on how the European explorers viewed and treated your people.
Choose one of the following perspectives to write from:
-
Option A (The Sons' Perspective - Taignoagny or Domagaya): You have been taken aboard Cartier's ship to be sailed across the ocean to France. Reflect on how Cartier treats you. Does he view you as an equal partner in trade, or as a tool and a prize to show his King? How do his actions reveal what Europeans think about Indigenous rights and freedom?
-
Option B (Chief Donnacona's Perspective): You have welcomed these French travellers, shared food, and helped them. Yet, they have planted a cross to claim your land and have now taken your sons. Reflect on the true intentions and attitude of these explorers. How does their hunger for land and power change how you view their "friendship"?
