Newfoundland Studies 2205
Students are asked to read Section 4.1 of Unit 4: Influence of the Land, pages 286-299. This reading speaks to the Diversification of the Economy and effects thereupon as well as some of the disasters that have visited Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800s.
I would like students to do questions #2 a, b, and c on page 299. #3 should also be done with special consideration of last weeks storm and the efforts the city and province have undergone to normalize the situation. This deserves some development- think paragraph with full sentences, not point form. Finally, students should complete #4. Why is there experience important and valid of historical events (ie #Snowmageddon2020)?
Question responses due February 7, 2020 to Mr. Peters.

For the students enrolled in Newfoundland and Labrador Studies 2205, my sincere apologies. This course has not received the attention it needs. Please find below a detailed listing of readings and assignments.
Please read Sections 2.3 and 2.4 (pages. 120-133). I would like students to do questions #3 and #4 on page 131. Also, after reading the Case Study on pages 132-133 I would encourage students to do question #2 as it draws in both people's shadow cast across ecologies, and how we might try to make amends.
Students should then read Sections 2.5 (pages 134-143) and do question #2 a, b, and c. This is particularly interesting as it looks at and grapples with the Codfishery from the angle of Economics and Society. Finally, Unit 2 is concluded by reading Sections 2.7 and 2.8. I would like students to do questions #1 and #2 on page 155.
