Guiding question: What factors affect the culture of an area?

Your trading card must have:

Back of card

Word(s) to know: seigneurial system - a system of land division that occured in New France. The king granted land to a seigneur (government official, army officer and/or church leader). The seigneur then divided up the land (often keeping the best water location for himself) among farmers (also known as habitants or censitaires). (on the right is an example of a visual image that could be on the card.)

Where? (question 1) After Samuel Champlain decided that the French would start settlements in New France. He chose positions along the St. Lawrence River. The French often stayed near established First Nations settlements such as: Stadacona (Quebec city) and Hochlega (Montreal). The third main place the French first started a settlement (using the seigneurial system was Trois Rivieres.

How? (qiuestion 2) The organization of the land was in thin strips perpendicular to the water. The St. Lawrence River banks had common land but the rest of the seigneur's land was divided into strips and given to the habitants. The habitants would cultivate (make ready for farming) the land and grow beans, squash, corn and other crops that were native to their new world.

Topic choices - you will be asked to use information from the text book and additional research.
