There will be a short test about Quebec's population and settlement in the period since WWII (1945-2014). It will consist of a three-paragraph essay and about five short-answer questions, each section based on its own documents.

This week: Economy and Development of Quebec, since 1500

Your aim, over the next two classes, is to understand:
(1) the characteristics of Aboriginal "economy" before Europeans arrived;
(2) how Aboriginal subsistence activities affected their social and territorial organization;
(3) the effects of contact with Europeans on Aboriginal economy and trade networks...

We will:
-discuss the term economy and understand certain key economic terms (photos, pp. 138-139);

-take short notes about nomadic and sedentary "economic activities" and their division of labour (p. 148-149);
-complete a four-page booklet about the aboriginal economy, which include two exam-style  questions;
-you are responsible for reading & examining corresponding pgs. 145-154

Bonus questions could come from this article or this one...
