My Cherished Constellation is Ursa Minor, also known as the little dipper.

I also had a special connection to the Ursa Minor constellation because it is often depicted as the little bear and bears are one of my favorite animals. Ursa Minor is the 56th constellation in size and contains one of the brightest stars and most significant stars in the sky, the North Star (or Polaris).

I've chosen to speak about the constellation Crux, commonly known as the Southern Cross, since this was the first constellation I learned to recognise in the night sky. Despite being the smallest official constellation, it is one of the easiest to recognize and, on the Southern hemisphere, it's used to locate the South Celestial Pole. The Crux constellation is formed by 4 main stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Crucis.
In today's society, constellations are known as a group of stars that when viewed from our planet earth, form a pattern that we can see at night with the unaided eye. There are also groups of constellation families; such as the Ursa major family, the Perusues Family, the Hercules Family, the Orion Family, the Bayer Group, the Heavenly Waters, the La Caille Family and finally the most known constellation group; the Zodiacal Family. The zodiacal family consists of the zodiac constellations signs. These signs usually describe your personality and who you are as a family.

Unit 10 was a closure for the previous four units in the process of inventing Canada. This unit based on the earliest resources on Canadian history and on the first nations whom lived in this country. This resources were about pre-Cartier and his explorations. Some nations, for example the people who lived in St. Lawrence valley – whom did not have a specific name to be called at- and historians still lacking enough evidence on their existence or what happened with them. These people who are identified as St. Lawrence Iroquoians were lived in the contact area which means the conquerors reached them first. The Iroquoians were exposed to all the dangers Europeans carried into the native lands, different types of diseases they were not immune

Six is the number printed on the back of my high school soccer jersey. Six is the number of people who live in my home. And six hours is the time difference that separates my dad and me. My whole life has been divided between two continents. From birth to age fourteen I lived in Milan raised in a traditional Italian home. Freshman year my life was split apart when my brother, mother and me moved to New Jersey and left my father and our childhood home in Italy. I moved to America freshman year to be able to go to college and to make a life for myself that wasn’t possible in Italy.
