1b. Remember to answer 1a before you do this question. Who is he? What is his nationality? What is his background?

(c. 1575[1] – 25 of December 1635), "The Father of New France", was a French navigator, geographer, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, ethnologist, diplomat, chronicler, and the founder of Quebec City on July 3, 1608, of which he was the administrator for the rest of his life.

Backgrond:He was born in Brouage, near Rochefort, in the Province of Saintonge, France: Champlain reported to be "Brouageais" (to come from Brouage) into the title of his 1603 book. He belonged to either a Protestant family, or a tolerant one, in a Protestant region but a catholic city, as his Old Testament first name (Samuel) was not usually given to Catholic children.

2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?

Samuel is important to Canada because he 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 and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.He was an early explorer of the great lakes, associated waterways and an excellent cartographer. His explorations led to the founding or Qubect City and he more or less singlehandedly, opened up the north american fur trade. That in itself led to further exploration by others and the establishment of fur trading posts further and further into the interior.

3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?

On his first trip to North America, Champlain arrived on board the Bonne-Renommée (the Good Fame) on 15 March 1603.1603 traditionally marks the point at which ‘English’ and ‘Scottish’ history became ‘British’ history, with the coronation of James VI of Scotland as James I of England. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were a period during which the “Three Kingdoms” of Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) along with Ireland became more closely economically, socially, politically and culturally tied together, sometimes peaceably and sometimes through great spasms of violent conflict. Together their regionally oriented economies and societies became linked to the furthest parts of the globe in large part through the growth of London. By the nineteenth century, the sun famously never set on the British Empire and it would be at the center of two World Wars in the twentieth.

4. Where did he explore? Find a map to help you answer this question. Post the map here and then explain.

He explored the New Franch.On March 29, 1613, arrived back in New France, he first ensured that his new royal commission be proclaimed. Champlain set out on May 27 to continue his exploration of the Huron country and in hopes of finding the "northern sea" he had heard about (probably Hudson Bay). He traveled the Ottawa River, later giving the first description of this areaIt was in June that he met with Tessouat, the Algonquin chief of Allumettes Island, and offered to build the tribe a fort if they were to move from the area they occupied, with its poor soil, to the locality of the Lachine Rapids

5. Why did he explore? What were his reasons for exploration?

He wanted to discover a water route across the American continent!
He was the founder of Quebec with out him there would be no Quebec
He was sent by King Henri IV and set up trading posts. He set up the posts Port Royal, and Kebec (Algonquin word for Quebec, where the river narrows). I think that he was sent mostly to make settlements for France, to gain more land.

6. How did he explore? What transportation methods did he use?

In January, 1599, he sailed in command of this vessel for the West Indies, and during two years and a half visited many of the islands, landed at Vera Cruz, proceeded inland as far as the city of Mexico, and returned by way of Panama, where he conceived the plan of a ship-canal across the isthmus, reaching Spain in March, 1601.

Flat Earth

www.chinahistoryforum.org/.../t28401.html
In ancient times, the chinese viewed the heaven as 'rounded' while the earth as "square". This was known as "Tian Yuan Di Fang 天圆地方" and influenced various aspect of chinese culture. For instance, depiction of heaven is always 'rounded', while depiction of land is always square.

2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?
http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm
<1>If it is a sphere, the surface of a large body of water must be curved. The Johnsons have checked the surfaces of Lake Tahoe and the Salton Sea (a shallow salt lake in southern California near the Mexican border) without detecting any curvature."
<2>"there are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet — notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's 'convexity'"; and that an aeronaut at the highest possible altitude will see what appears to be a concave surface "this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer".

3. Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?
Yes.Because human haven't got enough power to discovered more about space clearly.They only look space with equipment. We don't konow is the equipment reflect the fact,Is there any error?

Exploration is important for countries

Exploration is important for countries

______"Is the bounden duty of people to explore the truth?”- 〔〕 Poland Copernicus. Of human space flight to explore the long history, generation after generation of explorers who have lost their precious lives it. To explore everywhere, always have. Explore the twists and turns in the rough, there is very hardship, but it is a brave human tenacity and perseverance to explore the numerous practice, we created a colorful, rich and varied beauty of the world. Exploration is important for countries, because they can improve the international. They have benefited people all over the world. People in our country will not have to worry about resources.

________Exploration can improve the international. Oil is the blood of economic development, social stability and is a prerequisite for national security. Shortage of oil in China's economic development not only affects the health of the rise of international anti-China forces also provided an excuse to curb our country and conditions; competition in the oil so that our country's changing geopolitical security, thus affecting the peaceful rise of China's international environment and surrounding environment. Improve the country's economic level; the International status will be a corresponding increase. Thus, exploration can improve the international.

_________Exploration has benefited people all over the world. Human beings will always want to explore unknown fields themselves carry forward the spirit of space exploration is the great cause of all mankind, the need for generation after generation of human struggle, sacrifice. Human access to space has just started, in space flight accidents happen people will perish, mankind can not prevent the pace of space exploration, manned space flight should continue to push forward the ... ...There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And what's more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired by mankind. Therefore, exploration has benefited people all over the world.

________People in our country will not have to worry about resources. A lot of people are troubled by the financial crisis. They haven't got a good life like before. China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) told Xinhua on Wednesday that the nation's second largest oil field's proven oil reserve was 11.79 percent higher than previously thought to the exploration efforts made by the oil field. It means our country get more resources, China's economy can grow. People’s lives will not be disrupted. There is not much troubled for people in our country. Thus, people in our country will not have to worry about resources.

________On balance, exploration is important for countries, because they can improve the international. They have benefited people all over the world. People in our country will not have to worry about resources. Explore it, young people! Let's forge ahead to create footprint Synthesis of the symphony, so that the hard sweat of the time depicts Fairview.
