Main Purpose: comparative, critical, and annotated observation
. Focusing on the hidden histories of aboriginal settlement in the Toronto area, the virtual Great Indian
Bus Tour will expose you to a cross-section of central Toronto: the various residential, industrial,
commercial, transportation and leisure spaces built from the middle of the 19th century to now. How are
these various modern urban forms different from pre-colonial aboriginal settlement? How do
these modern forms hide or reveal aboriginal history from us? For these purposes, use the (1)
notes you take during the virtual tour, (2) the lecture notes from week 2, 3 and 4 (3) the required texts for
the weeks of September 24 (Freeman, Johnson) and (optional) the recommended texts of the same week.

Write a geohazard preparedness proposal designed to mitigate losses from natural disasters. The proposal, geared toward management executives in a disaster
preparedness agency, should target a natural hazard (or hazards) specific to your geographic location. (You may select an alternative geographic location of
interest with instructor approval.) Your proposal must include an explanation of the origin of the hazard(s) and how geographic factors and interactions among
environmental processes affect the risk and impact of the hazard. You should also examine past occurrences of similar geohazards and the mitigation policies
associated with those events, in order to form a basis of established best practice. Your proposal should then detail specific recommendations designed to
improve warning, land use, or other policies that have the potential to reduce the loss of life and property associated with the natural hazard events you
identify.
Specifically, the following cr
This paper should address whether the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting cities of the global South in a similar, or different, way than cities of the US. This can be discussed by looking at the economy, food in/security, housing, infrastructures, etc. and make an evaluation of whether southern cities differ in their experience of the pandemic.
This is meant to be an argumentative essay. The first paragraph should include a specific thesis statement (your overall argument for the paper) and an introduction to the topic and your position. Each subsequent paragraph should support one aspect of your argument or thesis, and provide evidence through citing sources and quoting. Your final paragraph and/or a few sentences should state your conclusion and reiterate any major points made in the paper.
Pick a biome and ecosystem and create a 500-700 word essay addressing the following:
Refer to the infographic provided and chose a biome to describe with an example ecosystem.
Provide one example of a keystone species found in the biome/ecosystem. Why is this keystone species important to the biome/ecosystem? What defines it as a keystone species?
Provide an example of an invasive species found in the biome/ecosystem. What are some of the negative impacts this invasive species has on the ecosystem? What is being done to mitigate impacts?
Provide one example of an endangered species found in the biome/ecosystem. Briefly discuss the causes of the decline in the species and what is being done to help.
Please include at least 3 academic sources and make sure all sources are cited in your essay.
We introduced ourselves to a group of lipids called steroids, which have a unique structure involving four fused carbon rings. The functions of steroid hormones rely on the chemical groups attached to those rings & how the body responds to them as a signal.
Research a type of steroid, either natural or synthetic and describe the following:
1. The structure of the steroid, specifically the unique chemical groups (find a picture & insert it into your document, but you must also describe the unique groups with words)
2. The function of the steroid.
3. The discovery or history of the steroid.
4. Its use in medical, pharmaceutical etc.
5. List any side effects that might occur on the human body.
Guidelines:
1. At least 450 words.
2. No introduction, no conclusion, no quotations.
3. Each of the 5 bullets answered, should be used as a heading for paragraphs answering it.
4. Your bibliography must contain at least 4 legitimate sources.
please follow the instructions EXACTLY as written in the document - carefully look over the essay grading rubric to understand how your essay will be assessed. You are not required to cite every reading but you MUST cite the majority of them, particularly those listed under #1. Do NOT summarize - I want opinions, insights, and your thoughts related to the prompt. Write in first person - no cover page, no extra space between paragraphs, 12pt type, double-space, no name at top of page
These approximately four- to six-page assignments are short critical essays based on ALL of the readings assigned for that period of the semester. They give you a chance to give your perspective and point of view on the readings this is NOT an opportunity to regurgitate information contained in the readings! You should write in the first person. No outside readings are permitted. No cover sheet. No footnotes and no bibliography. If you quote of paraphrase use this format: blah blah blah (author, page #
Read the article carefully, and answer the following questions to be submitted as an "Abstract" for this Lesson. You can answer each question individually (you don't need to write a cohesive paragraph). Copy/paste the citation at the beginning of your submission.
1. What are the take-home messages about the fire ecology of soils? (List three)
2. How do these messages APPLY or NOT apply to your ecosystem? (MY ECOSYSTEM IS THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES) You will likely need to explore additional literature to answer this. Please provide citations within the abstract (e.g., "First Author et al., year"), and a list of references at the end of your submission.
3. If you had to provide an "elevator pitch" summary of the result you find most compelling from the article, using one sentence, what would it be?
