After learning about Aboriginal Peoples, we turned to a French Canadian Community
settled by newcomers from France.
Each student received a 'ticket' that told them what 'character' they
would be in the new community. They had to research
what role their character would play in the community, then create
their place on the poster of the community.
The Seigneur was in charge of the land and he divided it into small farms
for the Habitant farmers and their families.
The nun was in charge of the school.
The priest was in charge of the church.
The families had to work together to take care of the land and
meet their needs for survival.
The town showed that the students understood what life
would be like in Chateau Richer in the 1700's and 1800's.
