Here's some supplemental reading on the subject of the French "explorers" and their exploits in establishing a colony and fur trade.

Be sure to document what you are reading about in your SPEC charts. 

Use this site to explore the various routes that Europeans followed when arriving in the "New World."

Remember you aren't really an explorer when you are laying claim to territory; that makes you a conqueror ;-) 

Based on the routes you see where is "New England", "New France", and "New Spain"?

An interesting website with some primary source materials. It is a little US/Eurocentric.
