When you're writing your pitch remember to start by identifying your audience, who are you trying to persuade to join you (Hurons, boys in New France, girls in New France, or someone else)?
Remember the time period, what kind of things would be valued during the 1600s in New France?
Be simple and precise, you don't want to lose the attention of your audience so be sure to mention the most important and enticing things first.
Your pitch should be 1-2 minutes long and all group members should be involved in some way.
Start by looking in your History textbook, pages 10-12. After you've done that, here are some online resources you can use to help you create your pitch.
