Everyone in Franny’s family seems to be focused on his or her own problems. What are the most important concerns of each member of the Chapman family—Franny, Uncle Otts, Jo Ellen, Drew, and Franny’s parents?

answer:

it caused mass african migration, african populations to grow, african empires to topple, and racism against slaves to emerge.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

significance

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.

written/slideshow report: pretend you are a war correspondent who has taken a time machine back to the french and indian war. you go back and forth between the french side and the english side to report on the action. you send two articles back to your paper in which you report on the war.  

in one article you will take the english side, and in the other article, you will take the french side.  

1. in each article, be sure to explain why you are at war with the other side.

2. find and upload a map of the french and indian war to explain your articles. (you may use one of the maps in this lesson if you like.) explain which native american tribe supports your side and why.  

3. tell about the battle of quebec and its impact on your country, and about your country's presence in north america.
