Questions from Textbook
To help you prepare for the test do questions: 1, 3b, 4, and 5 from page 66-67
Chapter 3 Test and Cod, Seals, and Survivours
It's test time again. YAY! :D A test is a pleasant recollection of what you've learned.
The test will be on chapter 3 'Making a Living in the Nineteenth Century' and Cod, Seals, and Suvivours. A lot of the information will over lap ;)
The terms for this chapter are:
Consumer Economy: in which people use money to buy what they need.
Subsistence Economy: producing most of what they need for their own consumption.
Inshore Fishery: took place near the shore, with fishermen operating out of small boats.
Labrador Fishery: a migratory fishery conducted by non-residents.
Bank Fishery: large vessels called schooner carried and dories to the backs; where fish were plentiful.
Truck System: the method of trade that existed between fishermen and merchants. It was a cashless system that worked on credit.
Seal Fishery: there were two branches of the seal fishery; the 'landsman's hunt' where seals were hunted on land or near the shore. The 'offshore hunt' where men went off on boats to the ice flows to hunt.
The important lessons for review from Cod, Seals, and Survivours are, 1 (fishing artifacts), 2a (A Subsistence Economy), 3 (Fishing Methods [the cod trap]), and 5 (The Truck System)
More information will be added as we review during class.

What we've been up to lately.
Just a note to parents. The grade 8 class have been working on Cod, Seals, and Survivours. This is a series of lessons that teach students about the Newfoundland fisheries. Students read diaries, comment on painting, watch videos, and discuss topics about what it would be like to live in Newfoundland during the 1800s.
Each student has hand outs from class if you are interested :)
