Stress that the poster should make the habitant's life seem appealing and profitable. Students should keep the poster to use during the television show in Activity 6. Provide students with A Year in the Life of a Habitant , Appendix 2.2. In groups of five, students use textbooks or reference books to find a plan of the seigneury which they will use to create their own three-dimensional model. Students attach labels to the model after its completion to identify its main components.
Students also give a short oral report on the seigneury.
Provide the students with flyers and catalogues from various department stores. In groups of five or six, students create a flyer for a department store that specializes in supplying people in New France. Each student takes responsibility for a page of the flyer. Students may need guidance on effective organization and pricing of the items concerned. Students create A Year in the Life of a Habitant in timeline format.
