Write a 2.5 – to 3-page paper on the question below. (Over three pages is fine.)
Only use information from Jared Diamond’s Collapse.
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must meet minimum standards for a college paper. The highest
score for a paper that does not meet minimum standards is a 55. Minimum
standards are:
Proper formatting with your name and course in the upper left hand
corner.
A title centered. Do not put “quotes” around the title.
The paper must be double spaced with 12 point font.
The paper must have a structure with an introduction, and at least three
body paragraphs. Paragraphs must be indented.
The conclusion can either stand alone as its own paragraph or be
incorporated into the final paragraph of the paper.
The paper must include examples with citations (see below).
Answer this question:
Why did the Norse begin to migrate away from their homeland? What
geographical challenges did they face as they settled islands in the North Atlantic
like Iceland and Greenland? What was economic and agricultural life like for the
Greenland Norse? Why did the Inuit survive in Greenland while the Norse went
into collapse?
Your paper must include a minimum of six citations (at least two each from
chapters 6, 7, and 8 of Collapse). See below for how to cite sources.
Citations are needed for both quotes and specific references.
Example 1: Diamond points out that deforestation left the Norse with lumber
shortages so they “came to depend on three sources of timber: Siberian
driftwood washed up on the beaches, imported logs from Norway, and trees
felled by the Greenlanders themselves on voyages to the Labrador coast
(“Markland”) discovered in the course of the Vinland explorations.” (249).
Example 2: Diamond points out that deforestation put the Norse in a position
where they had to rely on Siberian driftwood, imported logs from Norway, and
logging trips to Markland on the Labrador coast.” (249).
In the first example, I quoted Diamond directly. In the second example, I
conveyed the information by paraphrasing. I still need a citation to let the reader
know where the information came from.
