Salut 8C!
I will not see you today or tomorrow but I will hopefully see you on Friday. I have left some work with Mr. Frank that he will explain to you once you've completed the other unfinished assignments.
You will be learning how to do le future proche, this means the near future. In French, people use this to talk about things that they are GOING to do! If you remember, one of the very important Fab Four verbs is aller, which means to go. We must use aller to create the the future tense followed by another verb. We do this in English as well by saying, "I'm going to go to the park after school. = Je vais aller au parc après l'école.
Please click on the link to listen to how the future proche is used in conversations about going on vacation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Once you've done that, click on the link to the slideshow to take a virtual trip to Paris! Click and read about various places in Paris that you could visit. You will be writing sentences about places you would go to/visit in French using this slideshow. Please look at some of the examples provided as you will be writing your own sentences on the second side of the handout that Mr. Frank will give you.
Merci,
Mme :)

History notes
February 25, 2026
Between 1663 and 1673, King Louis XIV sponsored roughly 800-1000 young French women, known as the Filles du roi (King's Daughters), to immigrate to New France (Canada). Mostly orphans or from poor backgrounds, they were sent to address a severe gender imbalance, marry colonists, and boost the population.
Key Details About the Filles du roi:
- Purpose: The initiative was designed to stabilize the colony through marriage, family, and population growth.
- Support: The French Crown paid for their passage, provided a dowry (usually 50–300 livres), and supplied a trousseau.
- Impact: Most married quickly upon arrival, often to soldiers or farmers, and nearly two-thirds of modern French Canadians can trace their ancestry to these women.
- Background: The majority were young (average age ~24), and often from cities like Paris, Rouen, and La Rochelle.
Key Details of the First Winter (1604-1605):
- Location: Saint Croix Island, in the St. Croix River.
- Conditions: Extreme, uncharted cold; the river froze, making them unable to cross for supplies.
- Casualties: 35 of the 79 men died, mainly from scurvy (a disease caused by lack of Vitamin C).
- The Aftermath: The, surviving colonists relocated across the Bay of Fundy to Port-Royal (Nova Scotia) in 1605, where they found a more favorable
- Foundation of New France: He founded Quebec in 1608, which served as the cornerstone for French colonization and culture in Canada.
- Explorer and Cartographer: Champlain explored vast areas of Canada and the northern United States, producing detailed, accurate maps of the Atlantic coast, the Ottawa River, and the Great Lakes.
- Diplomatic and Indigenous Relations: He established important alliances with the Huron (Wendat), Algonquin, and Innu peoples, living among them to understand their cultures. However, his involvement in battles against the Iroquois Confederacy also set a precedent for future regional conflicts.
- Administrative Leadership: He acted as the effective administrator of New France, promoting trade, settlement, and exploration until his death in 1635.
- Enduring Recognition: Lake Champlain and numerous other geographic features, institutions, and landmarks are named in his honor.
His written accounts of his voyages remain valuable historical, geographical, and ethnographic resources.
