Assigment #7;Canadian Personalities

Hi again,
first things first, i have to link my assignment to this post, click here.

* the questions are in purple and the answers and in regular font :)

Which category of Canadian Personalities interested you the most ? Did you like the "we inspired", "we founded", "we fought", "we built" or "we governed" section the best? Why?
- I liked the "we inspired" part the most because, if you go on the profiles and click, "Chronology" there's a list of years. Those years start from the beginning of the persons life time, to the end. For example:Peter Pitseolak;for 1902 the website says "1902 Born in November on Nottingham Island, near Baffin Island (Nunavut) and spends much of his youth hunting in the area of Cape Dorset/Kingait."(this is the website i am referring to)
Which personality interested you the most? Why?
-Gabrielle Roy interested me the most. The reasons why it interested me the most is because when i opened her biography the FIRST sentence is, Canadian literature changed in 1945, that got me reading onto the next sentence which is, "so did the life of Gabrielle Roy" Then i read on, Gabrielle Roy is a French Canadian who grew up in poverty in Manitoba. she brought a new kind of literary genre in Canada. Also as soon as i opened her page i saw the last name Roy. That reminded me of Mrs.Roy :). At the top of the blog there is a picture of Gabrielle.


In your post, suggest three more influential Canadian personalities that could be added to this site. Why did you choose these people? Which categories would they fit into?

1- Don Cherry
Don Cherry is a Canadian TV announcer for "Hockey Night In Canada" allot of you just know him for that but here's a little more about him. He had dropped out oh high school and became a hockey player, then retired from hockey and became a construction worker and was selling cars for a little while, about two years to be exact. Then he took over for a hockey coach who had just gotten fired ( he was not the head coach for about 3 years, then he became head coach of the Boston Bruins. ) He then started working for Hockey Night In Canada, and he is still working for Hockey Night In Canada today. I chose to write about Don because Don is a known man, but a lot of people just know him from Hockey Night in Canada but now after reading my blog, you have found out a bit more about him, to find out more click here. He also inspired people, as a coach you inspire your players and now he inspires the players on TV and you also even hear him telling you to go play and try out hockey.

2- Celine Dion
Celine Dion is a very famous singer.She has inspired a lot of people to listen to her music and i would put her under the "we inspired" category. Here's a little bit about Celine, she was born in Charlemagne (a small town 30 miles east of Montreal, Quebec, Canada). She is the youngest of 14 children of a musical family. They owned a club, and on weekends each of the Dion kids would all preform one by one. By 1988 Celine was well known in the province of Quebec, she then released albums etc, and that's how people know Celine Dion now a days.This is where i got most of my information.

3-Jason Spezza
The last person I'm gonna be writing about would be Jason Spezza. I chose to write about Jason not only because hes one of my favorite hockey players but also because, hes a very nice guy, he also fits into the "we inspired " category because he helps a lot of kids out, he even has his own program "Spelling with Spezza." Thats a good way to get kids into spelling. Here's a little bit about Jason's life; Jason Spezza was born in Brampton, Ontario on June 13th 1983, He has two twin siblings, Matthew and Michelle 3 years younger. Jasons father and uncle both played hockey. Jason started playing hockey at a very young age. When he was young he watched the Toronto Maple Leafs play, and now he plays against them. Jasons dream was t be in the NHL( national hockey league) and that's where he is now.I got this information here.





Which History-Maker did you have the most in common with? Were you able to figure it out from the clues given? What do you share with that person? What are some things that are different between you and that person?

James Naismith is the person i got that i had the most in common with on this game. i was not able to find out who the person was by just looking at the clues.

Also i chose that i wanted to have a school or library named after me , and he did have a school named after him. The things that we didnt have in common were that he was born in Novemeber, and i was born in July, he had 3 siblings i only have one.


One hundred years from now, (in 2109!) imagine that students are learning about Canadian History Makers and they discover you. What will you be remembered for? How were you a Canadian History Maker? You are using your imagination, so think about some things that you would like to accomplish in your life and imagine that you have all the accomplishments of your life to look back on. Write a short profile of yourself, imagining the contributions you have made to the future of Canada
