Some key definitions to know (for all parts of the test)
Migration: moving residences from one location to another
Forced migration: having to move residences due to circumstances beyond your control (eg. Jews during
the Holocaust, Black slaves having to leave the US to escape slavery)
Push/pull factors: Reasons to leave your current location/reasons drawing you to a new location
Immigration: Coming into a new country
Emigration: Leaving your current country
assimilation: gradually adopting your new country's culture and language while losing your own culture at
the same time
discrimination: treating someone differently because of their race, religion, culture, language, age, gender
etc..
Prejudice: pre-judging an individual based on their race, gender, religion, age, language etc..
Racism: mistreatment of people who belong to a particular racial group
Stereotypes: Paradigms constructed about particular groups of people that are not true for all group members.
Does not necessarily involve negative perceptions, but rather "blanket" misconceptions that all people of a group are the
same (eg. Black people are all great dancers, girls must all be good cooks, boys aren't supposed to cry, women are bad
drivers etc..)
acculturation: when one arrives in a new country, the process of getting used to and adopting a new culture/way
of life.
culture: a way of life shared by a group of people, including the way they obtain food, the way they bring
up their children, their values, beliefs, language, customs and religion.
cosmopolitan: Ethnically and culturally diverse
enclaves: Areas, often within large cities, that are concentrations of particular ethnic groups.
Point system: A method used by governments to assess a potential immigrant's suitability using different
measures such as family ties, language, and work skills.
Quota: The maximum number of immigrants allowed to enter a country per year.
Visible minorities: Groups that, because of their skin colour or dress, are easily recognized as appearing
different from the mainstream population
Xenophobia: Fear of strangers; particularly, a mistrust of people who look and act differently
brain drain: When skilled professionals, trained here in Canada, leave to go to the US or other country
for more money/resources/prestige.
CLASSES OF IMMIGRANTS:
Business Class: This includes investors and entrepreneurs. You have to show proof of a minimum amount
of money that you have to invest or start up a business upon entrance to Canada.
Independent Class: These people are skilled professionals needed in Canada. They are ranked using
a point system based on the need Canada has for those particular professions: For example, doctors would be worth more
points right now because we have a doctor shortage here in Canada.
Family Class: an immigrant must show proof that they have a relative here in Canada who is financially stable
enough to support them while they find work here in Canada or, in the case of children, support them while they go to school
etc..
Refugee: people who are granted access to Canada because they are in grave danger in their home country
International Adoption: Canadian citizens may adopt orphans in other countries, depending on the other country's
laws for such adoptions. Many Canadian families adopt children from China, Russia, The Phillippines etc..
For this test question students will be give 4 case studies. For each they have to identify the immigration class,
one question they would ask the potential immigrant, and where you would recommend they go in Canada. (we did this type
of exercise in class).
ESSAY QUESTION-
This will be a three paragraph report on the migration group they chose for their "vignette" in class (Underground railroad,
Chinese railway workers, Irish potato famine migrants)
Paragraph 1- Introduction- What group did you study? Why did you choose this group for your
vignette? (2 sentences minimum)
Paragraph 2- Body- When did the migration take place? Why did these people leave their home
country? What struggles did these people meet along the way? Did these people stay in Canada? What was the
effect of this migration on Canada? (5 sentences minimum)
Paragraph 3- Conclusion- Recap what you talked about. What did you learn about mass migration?
What were the most interesting/shocking things you learned about the particular group you studied? (3 sentences minimum)

What you need to know!!!
1. The 4 trade organizations Canada belongs to:
APEC: Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation
This is an organization made up of 18 countries on the Pacific Rim (those countries whose borders touch the Pacific Ocean).
These countries have friendly relations (ie. No war) and they trade with each other to promote each others economies.
NAFTA: North American Free Trade Agreement
Formed in 1994 between U.S.A., Canada and Mexico. These countries have friendly relations and have vowed not to add tax
to items imported from each other. What this means is that all three member countries are ensured that they will have each
other to trade freely with for the duration of the agreement.
OAS: Organization of American States
An organization of 35 member countries, ALL of which are in the Western Hemisphere.
Like APEC, OAS ensures that member countries will support each other both socially and economically by buying each others
products and supporting each other in times of social unrest.
G-8: Group of 8
Formed in 1985 as the Group of 7, includes all the most powerful countries in the world: Canada, U.S.A., U.K., Germany,
France, Italy, Japan. Russia was the last country to join, thus making it the G-8. The G-8 is concerned with helping underdeveloped
countries with their economies by forgiving debts, encouraging trade and mostly by promoting peace in these countries to promote
economic growth and independence.
2. The 4 Types of Economies
Subsistence: Grow/produce only enough products for own needs (e.g. vegetable gardening)
Command: Production is regulated by the government with each farmer allocated a "quota" (i.e. maximum amount of
product they can produce for profit). This prevents producers from making more money by producing more product. An example
of this would be the industries of milk, beef, egg and tobacco production. Communist countries are almost exclusively command
economies.
Traditional: This means that people produce the same product that has been produced in their area for generations,
using methods they have learned from their ancestors. Usually a particular area develops a traditional economy because environmental
conditions are ideal for that particular product. Examples of traditional economies are fishing in the maritime provinces,
tobacco farming in Tillsonburg, mining in Sudbury.
Market: This type of economy dominates in U.S.A. and Canada as producers are not limited in their production and
are free to market their products to increase consumption and therefore make them lots of profit!! Any product you see advertised
is part of the market economy as it relies on advertising. Some examples of market economies are the North American auto,
clothing and soft drink industries- to name but a few.
3. Types of Industry
Primary Industry- These industries take raw materials directly from their source. Examples are farming, mining,
fishing, logging.
Secondary Industry- These industries take raw materials and make them into new and useful products. Examples of
this type of industry a car manufacturing plant, a chair factory, etc.
Tertiary Industry- These industries are SERVICE industries. These do not manufacture goods, but rather they provide
a service to the community. Examples include restaurants, travel agencies, retail stores, Internet providers etc..

Patterns in Human Geography Review
You should understand the following terms for the test:
* Population density- the number of people per unit of area. Large numbers in an area mean it is a dense population
(clustered). Small numbers in an area mean it is a sparse population (scattered). When a population forms along a line it
is called a linear population.
* Mapping Grid Coordinates - to use grid coordinates first go right along the bottom then up along the side.
* Urbanization - a shift of population from the rural areas to the cities, with resulting changes in peoples lifestyle
(eg. Suburban growth)
* Globalization- describes the increased mobility of goods, services, labour, technology and capital throughout the world.
Examples include worldwide organizations, UPS, international trade, media and satellite communication, convenient international
travel.
******* Land Use *********
* residential- where people live
* commercial - sells a product or service
* industrial- manufactures goods
* institutional- public buildings ( schools, churches, etc.)
* agricultural- farming, forestry, fisheries
* transportation- all means of travel (roads, waterways, bridges)
* recreational/open space- parks and all open spaces
*********** Statistics*******
* birth rate- the number of births per thousand people in one year
* literacy rate- The percentage of people aged 15 and above who can, with understanding, both read and write a short,
simple statement related to their everyday life.
* GDP- gross domestic product, the amount of money available in a country divided by the total population
* Infant mortality - The number, per 1000 births, of children under one year old who die in a year.
* Death rate - the number of deaths, per 1000 people, in a year.
* Developed countries - have the majority of its workforce in secondary industries (services). (Eg. Canada, USA, Europe)
* Developing countries- have the majority of their workforce in primary or tertiary industries (agriculture, mining,
forestry) (Eg. Africa, Asia except Japan, middle east)
* Site - the physical features in the area where the city is located ABSOLUTE
* Situation - the general position of a city in relation to transportation, other cities, natural resources, etc. RELATIVE
* Correlation- the relationship between two different pieces of information. (Eg. Birth rate and literacy rate as the
literacy rate increases the birth rate decreases this is a negative correlation)
TERM 1- PATTERNS IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY
Breakdown of Evaluation
In Class-Assignments (6 x 5 marks each) 30%
Major Project- Country Scrapbook 40%
Term Test 30%
The weighting of the project and test can be flipped so that the item with the higher grade will be worth 40%, and the
lower will be worth 30%.
The country scrapbook project involves an ongoing study of a country of the world. The countries will be randomly selected
out of a hat during the first week of school. This project is open-ended in that it allows students to work within their
own abilities, focus on their strengths, and be as creative as they would like. I will be listing the "required elements"
for this project on this page as the term progresses. To give you an idea....a level 2 (C) will include most of these required
elements but little to no additional research. A level 3 (B) will include all the required elements with some additional
research. A Level 4 will include ALL the required elements with precision and creativity. They will also include extensive
additional items in their scrapbook.
This is an ongoing project with a due date of FRIDAY OCTOBER 10th (Thanksgiving weekend!!) :-)
