HI KIM- REALLY GOOD START ON THIS. AND I CAN SEE THAT YOU HAVE A SANDBOX VERSION AND A DRAFT. WORK IN EITHER PLACE AND IT IS JUST FINE. THE SECTIONS YOU'VE COMPLETED LOOK GOOD AND YOU'VE FIGURED OUT THE WIKIPEDIA FORMATTING. THE OPENING SECTION LOOKS GREAT AND DOES THE JOB IT SHOULD. YOUR WRITING IS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND CLEAR. THINK ABOUT DETAILS AND BACKGROUND AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AUDIENCE NEEDS. YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN SOME BASICS ABOUT MISSIONS, CATHOLICS, AND JESUITS.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO FINISH UP THE SECTIONS YOU HAVE LAID OUT HERE. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE NOT USING THE GREER BOOK FOR YOUR ONLY SOURCE. START FINDING AND ADDING TO YOUR REFERENCES AND CITATIONS. SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON THE OU LIBRARY WEBSITE AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND VERSIONS OF THINGS THAT GREER USED AND STUFF THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN SINCE HIS BOOK CAME OUT. PLAY AROUND WITH SOME SEARCH TERMS. A LOT OF THIS MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AND THE "ANNUAL NARRATIVE" THAT HE WROTE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED BUNCH OF TIMES. SCHOLARS AND THE INTRODUCTIONS THEY WROTE TO HIS TEXT WOULD BE GREAT SOURCES FOR THIS. ONLINE DICTIONARY OF CANADIAN HISTORY IS ANOTHER GOOD PLACE TO LOOK!

GOOD START AND JUST KEEP GOING. (I'M PUTTING A CHECKLIST OF THINGS TO THINK THROUGH FOR YOUR FINAL VERSION JUST BELOW MY NAME. . . )

LEAD: Does your lead summarize the entire article by briefly covering all important aspects of the topic? Does it work as an outline for the whole article?

First sentence: does it serve as a definition of the article topic, with the topic itself — be it a person, place, thing, idea or concept — in bold, and a brief description that puts it into context.

(Example: Anna Anderson (c. 16 December 1896 – 12 February 1984) was the best known of several impostors who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia.)

BODY: Fact-based, not persuasive writing. The article is a description of the information you can find about a topic, based on good sources.

Did you write in your own words? Check that the article doesn’t contain excessive quotations, or copy any sources, even if you’ve given them credit.

Does the article let the reader decide for themselves? Avoid persuasive language? Are there any words or phrases that don't feel neutral?

Did you proofread? Basic grammar and spelling are correct? Complete sentences? Remove first-person (“I/we”) or second-person (“you”) writing.

Formal tone and simple language? No technical language or jargon? Check that you’ve explained acronyms and jargon in simple English the first time you use them.

Is your formatting consistent with the rest of Wikipedia? No bullet-pointed lists or too many headings in your article.

SOURCES: Is every claim cited to a reliable source?

Are there unsourced statements? Are there enough sources

Are the sources reliable and authoritative. Does each source have citations – footnotes, bibliography, etc.

Good sources include textbooks or academic journals. Don’t cite blog posts.

Claude Chauchetière

Claude Chauchetière (September 7, 1645 - April 17, 1709) was a French Jesuit missionary, priest, biographer, and painter. Claude Chauchetière is well known for his published work Annual Narrative of the Mission of the Sault from Its Foundation Until the Year 1686 which detailed his time in New France as a Jesuit missionary. For most of his mission work he was placed in the village of Kahnawake where he encountered Kateri Tekakwitha an Algonquin-Mohawk Jesuit convert, an encounter that immensely impacted his spiritual life. Later on Chauchetière would also actively work to get Kateri Tekakwitha canonized as a saint.

Early Life and Education

Claude Chauchetière was born on September 7, 1645 in Poitiers, Saint-Porchaire, France. Claude Chauchetière grew up in a moderately wealthy family. His father Jehan Chauchetière was an attorney and worked for the highest court in the region. Claude Chauchetiere’s childhood was filled with losing the people he loved at a young age. His mother passed away when he was only nine years old and at age sixteen he lost his father. He had a good relationship with his father and he did not take his death well. Chauchetière had two younger brothers named Jean and Jacques. Despite the death of their parents the three brothers maintained close relationship with each other.
