Today we worked on the Whale Hunt Controversy assignment. You wrote a paragraph on an assigned perspective, arguing either FOR or AGAINST the whale hunt. You then traded paragraphs with a partner, and argued against his/her specific arguments. For homework you are to complete your paragraphs and answer the following questions:

1. Which side of the whaling controversy do you agree with personally? Why?

2. How should natural and environmental resources, such as whales, be managed in your opinion? How could native and non-native perspectives be addressed?

3. What are some possible solutions to the whaling controversy? How would these solutions include both native and non-native perspectives?

Remember, your First Nations unit test will be at the end of next week. You will be given the written questions in advance. Next day you will get class time to begin working on your final assignment for the unit.
