Aboriginals: Summary and Quiz

SUMMARY:
On the back of your first worksheet, you will write a short summary (paragraph) about the stages of the arrival of the first occupants to the territory of Quebec. This does not include the theories about the arrival to the Americas over 30 000 years ago.

The information is found in the textbook: bottom, p.12-15. The information that you are summarising is their stages of arrival - not a detailed account of climatic changes or the available vegetation. Each stage - Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, etc. - requires only a couple of lines with the most appropriate information.

QUIZ: NEXT CLASS
Your quiz will be a short-answer quiz, of about 20 questions. To be successful, go over and study the following:
- textbook, p. 10-11; pp. 16-1;
- class notes (migration theories, Iroquoian, Algonkian, Inuit);
- understand the various characteristics of each group; know which physical regions that they inhabited and how each group adapted to their environments.

If there is something with which you are have difficulty, please see me. It doesn't take long to make information clear!
