About This Book

New France is an excellent resource book comprising detailed pictorial diaries of six important people of the time: Étienne Brûlé (explorer, interpreter), Gabriel Lalemant (Jesuit missionary), Marguerite Bourgeoys (educator), Jean-Baptiste Talon (intendant), Magdelaine de Verchères (heroine), Angélique Leblanc (Acadian). The book forms a microcosm of the era integrating History, Geography, French, Music and Art.

For the student there is much of interest and enlightenment. New France contains a wealth of coloured pictures of historical figures and artifacts, playable song manuscripts and documents of the time - a compilation of visual aids from across two continents that captures the look and feel of the era.

For the educator there are complete ready-to-go sets of activities, written, oral, and creative, based on each individual unit or theme. A bibliography and detailed index complete the work.
