3. How do you think the "Canadiens" (French-Canadians) felt when they realized that the British had conquered New France?
Finally, on Friday's class I will be posing one final question to wrap up our unit on New France. It will have to do with why we still speak French in Canada today. Look in your notes and gather up any and all information related to that from our New France unit.

Make sure you complete your primary source work sheet for Friday! One sentence per source is enough.
P.S. Think of it like a historian: how would a HISTORIAN use the primary source to learn about the past? If, say, they found old tattered clothing, what might that say about the person who owned it?
