"The Father of New France"
Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635) was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him (Lake Champlain, on the border of northern New York state and Vermont, named in 1609) and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.
Your Task:
1) Listen to one of the audio recordings about the life of Samuel de Champlain.
2) Be sure to take notes on this phase of Champlain's life as you listen to the recording with your group.
3) As a group, create a short dramatic presentation which depicts important details from this phase of Champlain's life. Your presentation should be no longer than approximately 5 minutes in length. You may want to consider including both narrators and actors for this dramatic sketch.
or
4) Create a visual collage of some of the major events and achievements as outlined in your assigned audio recording about Champlain's life. Be prepared to make a 3-5 minute presentation to the class which explains your choice of visuals.
***Have Fun!***
