Grade 7

This week, students completed a "fill-in-the-blanks" quiz, which summarized the events in Chapter 3 from the founding of The Hudson's Bay Company in 1670 to the Treaty of Paris in 1763. It reflected the downfall of "La Nouvelle-France" and what was going on in both North America and Europe.

      
                                                            Les Acadiens, 1713              Les autochtones et les Français

Students will be tested on Chapter 3 on Thursday. Keep in mind the new vocabulary; the reasons why "La Nouvelle-France" was in a delicate military position; the key strategies used by the British to take over Quebec in 1759; how the "Acadiens" were treated after the British took Acadia over from the French in 1713; and the impact on "les autochtones" living in "La Nouvelle-France".

Grade 8
