2. As you've been learning, the British and the French tooka different approach to
their colonies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Ifyou had been given
a choice between living in Nev^ France or the Thirteen Colonies, whichwould
you have taken? Be sure to give at leastthree reasons foryour choice, pointing out
specific differences between life in New France and the Thirteen Colonies.
Whenyou've completedquestion 2, continuewhereyouleft offon
page 78 in the StudentModule Booklet.
3. Imagine thatyou're Pierre Radisson. Having failed to interest the governor of
New France in your idea to use Hudson Bay to trade furs, you've sailed all the
way to Britain and have arranged a meetingwith the king and his advisors. Your
job now is to convince the British monarch to invest enough moneyto see ifyour
planwillwork.
—
A
meetingwith the king is, ofcourse, averyformal and rather frightening
affair. And since Charles II is averybusy man, he can'tspareyou much time. As a
result, you've decided to write out a short speech to read to the king in which you
explain all the advantages ofusing Hudson Bayfor the fur trade.
^
Social Studies 7: Module 2 4 Assignment Booklet 2B
Write outyour speech (preferably on a computer) and then dehver it orally as if
you were reading it to King Charles. Ifyou're working in a classroom, you can
simply arrange to meetwith your teacher. Ifyou're working from a distance, you'll
have to contactyour teacher and work out away foryou to present the speech
orally.
For example, you might simply read it over the phone or leave it as a voice-mail
message. Or ifyou have the capability, you might put it on a CD.
Howeveryou deliveryour speech, remember that you're trying to sell a verywise
and experienced monarch on your plan, and this is the only chance you'll get. So
be careful to give all the reasons you should as to whyyou think it's a great idea.
And be as persuasive as you can; use the techniques you've learned in English
LanguageArts classes for presenting effective speeches.
Your speech should last no more than one and ahalfminutes.
Here's onewayyou might begin your speech.
