This grade four student has chosen an important, authentic inquiry question to guide her project. In addition to the attractive presentation, her project is noteworthy for her effort to understand both the perspectives of the French and the Huron (or Wendat). To highlight the strangeness of the first encounter she compares it to meeting aliens.
It would have been even stronger if she had referred to an example of the strangeness. In this introductory paragraph she also seems to answer her question rather than inviting the visitor to explore it. The answer is best left to the conclusion. Nonetheless, this is a thoughtful and attractive project. The central illustration with the French and Huron on opposite sides supports her interpretation.
