Distance Place-own landscape poem

Distance Place







Far away from there the sun is rising.
He hardly shinnies on the sky.
He feels tried, he sit on the mountain's top to relax.
He sit on the mountain like a children,
he curiosity look around.
His comfortable chair- the big mountain is on the center of the water.
There is a widely water area in front of he.
The water reflection orange sunshine.
The water is like a soft silk, smooth-bumpiness.
Just like the people's life, seem wateriness, but the chance and change are always hidden in the corner in the life.
He elongates his neck to see the beautiful view.
The humidity blow on the face of him.
The obscure air like a veiling of the beautiful girl - mystery and dangerous.
Far away from lake there is a rocks pile.
The rocks are strange;
they are like the waves on the sea.
When the wind through the rock the rocks are groan.
Everything is silent.
“Oh!” his exclamations, “It’s time to go.”
Far away the orange sun shinnies slowly.

An Alliance with the Huron Empire

1. An alliance is a person or a group or rank connect with each other. The word "alliance" has two denotation meaning. The first one is two or more than two countries make league to consist a group. The second meaning is a person or a group or rank connect with each other. In the sentence :"The Hurons were a group of First Nations people who were in an alliance with Champlain." the alliance means the Hurons get together to fight with Iroquois.

2. Champlain wanted to alliance with the Hurons, because this can make he easy to occupy Quebec. His intent is to occupy Quebec to make this land become French colony. If he work together with Hurons, he will easy to finished his occupy. Hurons is a closely related with Iroquois. They are know iroquois very much. Champlain work with Hurons and helped he a lot.

3. In the picture there are two groups of solider fighting with each other. Both of these two groups are holding arrows on their hands. In the left there are no people hurt, but on the right there are several people lie on the ground. Between the two groups of people there is a man holding a gun in his hand and shooting to the right group of soldiers. In front of them, there is a lake. There are some canoes in the two side of the lakeshore.
I think this is not a real situation of this fight. In the picture Champlain stand between the Huron and Iroquois. Although he hold a gun in his hand, it too dangerous to stand close to Iroquois. The Iroquois maybe use hand to fight with him.

This map is about the border of the Canada and America. This map includes Quebec and Ontario, and some place in USA. There are also having some lake and bay. The Georgian Bay is in the middle of the map. The Georgian Bay is between Ontario and Huron Lake. There are many towns on the shore of the Georgian Bay: Parry Sound, Collingwood, Waylon, and Owen Sound...
The world "Bay" has three denotation meaning. The first one is the part of the sea extend in land. The second meaning is the part of the mountains caved in. The third meaning is the buildings that along the river or sea that use for obstruct flood.







5.

This photograph is about Georgian Bay's afternoon. There are many clouds in the sky. The sky has two colors: blue and yellow. In the water, there are some rocks.



6. When I see this picture, I feel the storm is very serious. The tree is slop by the big storm. All the branch and leaves is being blow to one side. The tree is growing in some rocks. Far away from the tree, there is also having some trees. These trees are slop too. The waves ran high in the sea. The clouds are mixed and disorder because of the storm.

7. "Cedar and jagged fir uplift sharp barbs" This half sentence successful creative the view of the tree sway in the big storm. The fir looks like very strange. Its surface of irregularity like jagged. The cedar and fir are both grow on sharp rocks.” against the gray and cloud-piled sky" This half sentence particular describe the sky. The sky is gray. There are many clouds in the sky. The cedar and fir are very high, like can against the sky. "In the bay blown spume and wind rift and thin, bitter spray snap" This sentence describes the view of the bay. In the bay there has blown spume in it. This explains that the water in the bay is opacity. There is some soil or sand in the water. “A wild duck calls to her mate, and ragged and passionate tones stagger and fall, and recover, and stagger and fall, on these stones” This sentence describe the duck is hardly walk because of the big storm. It fall and recover, and stagger and fall, many time. This explains the storm is very big so when the duck walk the storm will take it away. This made the duck fall without stop.


8. I learn The Huron is a group of first nation people that have closed relative with Iroquois. Huron and Iroquois are enemies. The Huron make an alliance with Champlain. The alliance is about Champlain and Huron work together to fight with Iroquois. The Huron have many economic advantages because they are having good location and territory. They are in the southern shore of the Georgian Bay. This is a good place to fishing. This region has much different kind of plants: forest, meadows, and field. The soil there has much sand. This sand is good to grow corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans.

REFLECTION

1. I had learn many things in this class since September. I had learn Viking ship, the two explorers: John Cabot and Jacques Cartier, fur trade and exploration. I like this class. In the class I learn many knowledge and it also make me happy. I most favourite lesson is Viking ship lesson. In that lesson, I saw some interesting video. These video described the viking very murderous and atrocity. After I saw these video I feel scare. My most favourite part of this lesson is make viking ship. Everyone in the class are work hard to making their viking ship. In fact, I think my group is the most special group, because our ship is different from other group. Other group's vinking ship is western country's vinking ship, but our ship is dragon ship. Our ship shows the peculiarity of China.

2. My most memorable lesson is making Viking ship. In the lesson all the students work hard to their ship. My group members are also working hard to making the Viking ship. In the first class, we make our plan- how to make and what we have to buy to make the Viking ship. In the weekend we went to the shop to bought the material. Then Candy carved the ship. On Monday, she brought the ship to the classroom. Then Charity and Candy stitching the sails together. Kitty and I are making the life buoy that will hang on the sides of the ship. The next day, Kitty and Candy hand the sails on the mast. I draw a human skeleton that will cover on the sail. When I finished draw, Charity cut down it and covered it on the sail. We almost finished our work. The last day, Candy put the life buoy on the ship. I dye the front and the back sails, I make them red. When I finished, our work were done. We look at our ship, and said: “What a wonderful ship!”

3. Since my life as a student here since September, I had changed a lot. Last term, when I’m in 10B, I working hard everyday. In this term, I am lazy. I didn’t work hard. I always play game and watch TV. I never learn the words and review the knowledge that I learned. I want to study! When I get home I will play and play! I know this is wrong, but I can't stop. Yesterday I saw my mark. It is too low. I understand I have to study. I must to study.

4. My goal for Jun is STUDY! STUDY! AND STUDY! All of my time has to be study. I will use all of my time to study, to fill up the time that I didn’t study in this term. I will do my best in study! I will control myself to study! I won’t play the computer games until I finished homework and review. After study, I also have to practice. I will positive to do my homework. If I have more time, I will find some questions to do.

5. My most proud of in school since September is the Viking ship and recited the poem “snowman”. I proud of my Viking ship, because I work very hard to do this job. In this lesson, I also learn some new thing. Such as: how to do needlework. Before I do this object I never use needle. Then I do this object I wanted to help Charity to sew the sails, because she is too moiling to do this job. Then, Candy told me how to do it. I learned then I can use it. Although I can’t use it very well, I can now. Recited the poem “snowman” is a good memory of me. I try my best to do this job. I read the poem and imaging the snowman. I fond I can feel the snowman’s soul. It wants to see the July, but it never can see it. This is just like you wanted to do something, but you couldn’t. You will feel suffering and sorrow. I imaging I am the bird. When I see the sad pore snowman, what I will feel.

Essay





In the middle ages of the Europe. European were already have comfortable life and develop technology, and they also have flourishing industry and commerce. When people already have comfortable life they also wanted to know more about the place they live or even is the world. The European were not exception. Some people want to exploration. They make the king allow their advice, then they starting their exploration. Exploration gave these countries some benefits. It also gave the explorers Honorary and riches this made some explorers indulge in exploration. In fact, exploration didn’t gave the countries that been explored peace and happiness. The European’s explorers just in order to themselves. They didn’t think of other. They just wanted to get riches. They wanted use the easiest and the cheapest ways to get riches, so they are cheat the native people. Such as use knife to exchange fur and beaver. These unfair trade creative misunderstanding and conflict. Exploration create misunderstanding and conflict, because exploration is to force-land other countries, because exploration is to plundering the wealth of other countries, because exploration always in order to colony.


Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration always in order to colony. In deeply religious age, Europeans wanted to spread knowledge of Christianity and to contain spread of Islam. However, neither Portugal nor Spain was interested in John Cabot. They choose he to find the way to Asia-China. In 1497 John Cabot arrived Canada, but he through it is the eastern coast of the Asia. The next year, he arrived the land that is the eastern coast of the America. He report the England king that he found a new territory. The letter he sent to king shows he in order to colony. In fact European's king allow he to exploration in order to territorial expansion. The king wanted to colony in other land. In the middle centre of Europe, there are to many people in one country, so if a country want to develop, he must find the new land for people too live. This is a big problem for the king, so exploration is a good way to realize the information of the world.


Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration is to force-land other countries. In 1534 Jacques Cartier was looking for a passage through or around North America to East Asia, as some had done before him, and many would after him. He just spends twenty days to crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He landed on an island near the coast of Newfoundland, Breton fishermen always came here. He sailed to north and entered the Strait of Belle Isle. He sailed into the Bay of St. Lawrence and west coast of Newfoundland and crossed the Bay to the Magdalene Islands and Prince Edward Island, he think both of them are the part of the mainland. Then he went to Choler Bay. At there he saw 50 canoes filled with Micas Indians. They seemed friendly and greeted him with the words napeu tondamen assurtah (we want to make friendship). The next day French and the Micas traded and celebrated. He also met a fishing party of 200 Huron’s, led by their chief, Donnaconna. His sons, Domagaia and Taignagny, went to France with Cartier to become interpreters. Cartier explored Antipoetic Island and returned to France. When he hard a large river further to the west, he hope it can go to the northeast. He departed on a second voyage in the next year. When he arrived Choler Bay, he land the land. Although the native people doesn’t revolt him, but he also was force-land. If the native people doesn’t want him to land, he will land too, because he doesn’t care about other people, he just want to finished his assignment. Then he will get riches and honor. He will disregard those benefits to all, so the exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration is to force-land other countries.


Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration is to plundering the wealth of other countries. When John Cabot arrived the land that is the eastern coast of the America. He report the England king that he found a new territory. He also found many cod fish. He bring many cod fish back to his country. He found these cod fish in the borderline of Canadian, so he bring the cod fish of Canada. His behavior equal to plundering the wealth of other countries. Although cod fish is not expensive object, his behavior also equal to plundering the wealth of other countries. In other way, when Jacques Cartier arrived Anticosti Island he saw the native people’s cloth is different from other countries. All of them wear fur cloth. Fur cloth is very expensive, so Jacques Cartier want to use most easy and cheap way to get in return for fur. They using native people doesn’t have knowledge to cheat them. They use knife to change fur. Native people doesn’t know fur is a rarity and expensive material for make cloth, so they Pleased to accept to this deal. In fact,Jacques Cartier behavior is cheating. He using native people doesn’t know fur is very expensive to cheat native people. His behavior is another way to plundering the wealth of other countries. These bad behaviors are making people anger, so exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration is to plundering the wealth of other countries.

Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding, because exploration is to force-land other countries, because exploration is to plundering the wealth of other countries, because exploration always in order to colony. If exploration is just to know more about our homeland- there won’t have any conflict and misunderstanding, but the problem is the exploration always In order to satisfy private or national desire. Can people or country don’t have desire. No! People is alive because they are have desire. There won’t have human that don’t have desire, so exploration is a way that can satisfy the desire of some people and countries. It is also a way their dream come true. The people have different desire so they do the different work in the exploration. King wanted his country rich and bigger than before, and he has money. He lends money and boat to the explorers. The explorer will make his dream come true. Explorers wanted money and honor, because he doesn’t have money he have to brow the money and boat to make his dream come true. He must finish the assignment that king gave his then he will get what he wants. These bargain constitution the exploration, so the explorations were not dispassion object. The Exploration can create conflict and misunderstanding is a normal object.

What You Think is What You See (Answer)




1. I won't believe it, because I didn't see it by my self. The map is always wrong. The explorer is already prove there wasn't a Northwest Passage.

2. If I am John Cabot, I heard someone told me the Northwest Passage didn't exist. I will very angry and feel unhappy. I will ask that person does he ever been to China? Does he exploration that there wasn't Northwest Passage? If he say no, I will angry to tell him:" If you don't try you have no chance to arrest other. If you don't try you never no the truth. I will react them by go to exploration to prove my opinion.

3.


This picture is the Humphrey Gilbert's world map. He draw the earth like a heart. In the center of the earth, there is a stright line. In the map, the Africa is connect the Europe and Asia. This make me confuse. It must be something wrong in this map, because Africa can't connect Europe and Asia. The second things make me confuse is in the map Asia is close to America!Why?In fact, Asia is far away from America. The South Pole is too big! There are too many mistake inthis map. If someone wants to find a place to use this map, he can't find it.

4. The Northwest Passage suit the goals of the Eurpean explorers because it is the most simple way to go to Asia. If they go to Asia by the Northwest Passage they won't worried about the direction. They just sailing a straight line. Then they will arrived Asia. Northwest Passage suit the goals (agenda) of the Eurpean monarchs because they wanted to get riches, land and other informations quickly.

5. My example of feedback loop: When I'm 5 years old, my mother take me to learn drawing. In fact I didn't have genius of drawing. I 'm not the best student in the drawing class and neither the worst student. Since now it doesn't change. I'm still the medium student in the class. At first I didn't understand why my mother stick to me to learn drawing, but when I feedback I find the answer. My mother don't want me to be a penman, she just wanted me to learn a good behave.

6. I learn a lot in the period of study. I learned 2 explorers: John Cabot and Jacques Cartier. John Cabot is Italian explorer. Jacques Cartier is French Explorer.They are all exploration. They arrived in different parts in Canada. John Cabot is erect a cross, the cross shows he choce the place to colonization. The exploration and colonization almost can't separate from each other. Almost all the exploraionn are order to colonization.

Flat Earth

1. This picture makes me feel amazing! This picture shows the earth is flat. In the picture the earth is a big flat land. The sun and the moon are on the different side of the earth. The stars are spread all over the half of the arch sky. The different countries are parts by the ocean. The most amazing thing in this picture is a big man in the left of the picture. The big man wears a red cape and a red hat. He is kneeling on the land. His upper part of the body is reach out of the earth. His head is out of the earth, and his eyes are looking ahead. His right hand is also reach out of the earth, his right hand spread seem as touch something. His left hand held a staff. Half of the staff is out of the earth.




This picture is also about flat earth. In this picture earth is a big round flat land. The edge of the earth is a red cycle. In the cycle there is sky. There are some clouds on the sky. Under the sky are oceans. The land is on the ocean. The boundaries of the lands are the oceans. The oceans make many parts of land. On the different land there area some people stand there. They can see and talk to each other. This picture shows if the earth is flat. People are easier to connect to each other.

2. I believe the earth is flat and I can prove it. In my opinion, the earth is flat because after flood, always have people disappear. Where do these people go? It might be the water takes these people out of the earth. So the earth must a flat land. The second reason to prove earth is flat is human and all the animals are stand on the land. If the earth doesn’t a flat thing human and all the animals can’t stand on it. The entire object must be drift. The third reason can prove the earth is flat is water is flow on the earth. If the earth doesn’t flat, the water can’t flow, it must be stop at one place. The fourth reason to prove earth is flat is we can see boundary of sky and ocean. If the earth doesn’t flat. The sky and ocean won’t have boundary. The last reason if the earth is flat is when we put object on the land, it won’t be slope. If the earth doesn’t flat, the object will slope or even topple over the land.
3. I don't think human have a false concept of the earth and the universe today. The scitence is already prove the earth is a big cripling round. I believe human have a truth concept of the earth and the universe today, because many scientist have prove this fact. Some scientist even dedicate their life. I believe earth is revolve by it self, because the earth have night and day. I believe the earth revolves round the sun, because the earth have 4 different season. If the earth didn't round the sun, the earth won't have temperture, and won't have life.The most important reason that I believe the concept is right is there are some people already went to the universe and took some picture. These picture can prove the earth is a big cripling round, and others concepts.

3. I learn a lot in makeing this puppet show. I learn how to make the puppet. I learn how to make the background and how to control the puppet. The most important thing I learn is how to work with other people.

4. I want you to notice the background, because we make it delicacy and beautiful. I want you to notice the voice of Cabot because Helen make it veru funny. I want you to notice the background music, because we make it real.

5. We work well with each other. First we are work together a long time, we make the ship, and scence together.

Exploration Essay1

Long long ago, when human already made their life comfortable and Industry and commerce are flourishing. They wanted to know more about the world, they want to go to the place that they didn’t know. They decided to go out their country—to exploration. In the exploration they want to find new land and rich. In the end, they didn’t find rich but find some natural resources and new land. This story is one of the European explorer’s exploration . Exploration can give the countries many benefits. It can make the country know more about the world, and develop their science technology. These shows exploration is important for countries, it can make countries rich, it can make countries have advanced science and technology, it also can make the countries peaceful.

John Cabot is a Itailan exploorer.His was born around 1455 in Gaeta, near Naples, and was the son of a merchant. But in 1461 Cabot was living in Venice, where he became a citizen.

Then, about 1490, Cabot and his family moved to Valencia in Spain because his countryman Christopher Columbus and he wanted to make a group to explore the Atlantic Ocean.

1. In the first picture, Jacques Cartier wear a red hat. He concentrate his attention on looking the right side . He wear a fur warm coat. His left hand petting his coat.

His right hand hold his sword .His left hand makes a fist. The background is European killing the Indians. These two picture makes me know Jacques Cartier always think, and he is a heartless person.












2. Jacques Cartier was born in St.Malo (France) in 1491. I don't know much of his life before 1534, when he departed on his first voyage. He was looking for a passage through or around North America to East Asia, as some had done before him, and many would after him. He just spend twenty days to crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He landed on an island near the coast of Newfoundland, Breton fishermen always came here. He sailed to north and entered the Strait of Belle Isle. He sailed into the Bay of St. Lawrence and westcoast of Newfoundland and crossed the Bay to the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island, he think both of them are the part of the mainland. Then he went to Chaleur Bay. At there he saw 50 canoes filled with Micmac indians. They seemed friendly and greeted him with the words napeu tondamen assurtah (we want to make friendship). The next day French and the Micmac traded and celebrated. He also met a fishing party of 200 Hurons, led by their chief, Donnaconna. His sons, Domagaia and Taignagny, went to France with Cartier to become interpreters. Cartier explored Anticosti Island and returned to France. When he hard a larg river further to the west, he hope it can go to the northeast. He departed on a second voyage in the next year.












3. He is important in Canadia history because he sailed through the Strait of Belle Isle again, but this time followed the coast westward, and reached the St. Lawrence. He sailed upriver until the Huron village of Stadacona (at the location of Quebec today).

The next time he reached the St. Lawrence. He sailed upriver until the Huron village of Stadacona .




6. In the video, when the national people first seen the Europeans, they were neverous, and all the national people watch out for them. When they see the europeans didn't hurt them, they are introduce they hometown to Europeans, and lead them to lookaround the hometown.










7. a: I know Jacques Cartier been sent by the king. The king wanted he to find the way to cross the Atlantic ocean and look for a passage through or around the North America to East Asia. When he reach the Chaleur Bay and Gaspé peninsula, he think the cloth that national people wear are have small value. He gave the national people some knif to change for the fur.


b: After sailing 115 miles they landed on a large island. He though it is a very good land, because there are many field. In the middle of this field there is a village-Hochelaga. He landed the island and found there is a kinds of plant that national people collected in summer. He gave tobacco to the national people to let the European continue search the land. National people feel surprise to the tobacco, because when they smoke they saw many smoke around him and they think their dream out of them.

















































8. Scurvy (N.Lat. scorbutus) is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C.










9. Hurins liked telling stories, when he found french like stories they always tells them stories.Cartier wanted king Francis I to hear about these stories, Cartier kidnapped Donnaconna and his sons, and took them with him to France.
