SS10 Notes: Nov. 18, 2015

Thanks everyone! Your homework is to read 131-135 and take notes. Here are the details of your project  this week. It's a short one!

Project #10 (/15): Imagine you're a Metis fur trapper in 1810, employed by the North West Company. Write a journal entry in which you trade bison fur for some beaver pelts from an Aboriginal woman, transport it to Montreal, and sell it. Here's how the points will be allotted:

-Description of one of how the Metis got the bison fur. (3)
-Description of the Aboriginal woman. (3)
-Description of the boat they travelled in. (3)
-Description of a "barter" trade with the NWC. (3)
-Proper English and in journal format. (3)
