Assignment # 6

In Assignment # 6 we had to read up on a African Canadian. The person I choose to write about is Measha Brueggergosman. Measha is an Canadian soprano and opera singer, born on June, 28 1977 in Fredericton, New Brunswick. When she was a young girl she sang in her Church choir. When she was a young teen she took voice lessons to improve her voice. When she learned to train her voice she studied with a New Brunswick soprano singer Wendy Nielson. After the one year with Wendy she moved on and studied at the University of Toronto, where she go B. mus. Shortly after that at the age of 20 she played the lead role in the Opera Beatrice Chancy
(by: James Rolfe). The opera and Measha both got great reviews, for the great performance. Shortly after Mrs. Bruggengosman played the lead role in Opera Beatrice Chancy, she performed with Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and the National Arts Center. Measha has performed in many different opera's such as: the Cincinnati Opera, the Verdi Requiem with Sir Andrew Davis and the Toronto Symphony, the International Beethoven Festival etc...
She was awarded the Grand Prize at the Jeunesses Musicales International Compation
Montreal in Montreal in 2002.

Assignment # 5

In assignment # 5 we are learning about the Canadian Settlers and why they stayed here even in the COLD, COLD winters!

Obviously they managed to find food and and a good sturdy shelter to keep them going through the extremely cold winters in Canada. There food may not have been the best and the shelter may not have been the warmest thing, but they obviously liked it enough here to make them stay! The only way to keep them warm was to create fires.

When they first arrived they had to cut down trees with axes, to clear the land for there homes and barns for animals. ( witch took lots of work ) The Canadian Settlers had animals to provid them with food and liquid such as milk. They had barn animals like cows - for milk, sheep - for wool, chickens - for eggs, pigs for - for meat, horses - to pull and plow the sleighs.

Assignment # 4

2) Alma's blog: "there will be no discrimination."

Assignment # 3

Chorister Moore's blog is very interesting. I believe that the past was more
interesting, then the present, but I think that the future will be remember
for longer.

I think that in 2109, the population will increase dramatically. I think that
people in the future will pollute more and be less respectful of the earth. I also
think that in the future all the wars will be ended! I believe that kids education
will be better and that kids will learn more; I also think that kids will half to go
to school for longer hours then now.
