POST: Week 4, Day 3, Friday, September 19, 2008

Today we worked on a few more things:

1. I asked you to send me your rewrites of the "worst" question in your in-class writing by 5 p.m. today. Only a few of you did!

2. I asked you to send me your two lists of words for the next quiz by 5 p.m. today. I have not received anything so far! I am, therefore, providing you with this list:

(Chapter 5: West India, the slave trade, the Gloucester schooner, the French and Indian War, St. Pierre and Miquelon)
(Chapter 6: The American Revolution, the Molasses Act, John Adams, the treaty of Ghent, the Gaspe cure, the codfish aristocracy )
(Chapter 7: dory, dorymen, clipper schooner, longlining, Thomas Henry Huxley, gillnetting, ghost net, factory ship)
(Chapter 8: Lunenberg, bottom dragger the otter trawl, wet wells, Clarence Birdseye, Gorton's, fish sticks, pair fishing)
(Chapter 9: Iceland, stockfish, trawler, cod-liver oil)

3. We worked on a few different types of resources, including how to access ProQuest and how to select a good website (instead of a bad one).

HW: Read the following sections of the handbook this weekend: section 10h (140-142) and section 14b starting on p. 254. Bring the handbook with you to class on Monday. Continue reading your book.
