Activity Exploring Kinship

Be sure to note the due date and time and plan accordingly.

Brian Schimmer at the University of Manitoba has developed a very popular resource known as the Kinship Tutorial . You will be using this website and your textbook to answer the questions listed below.

Kinship and Social Organization: An Interactive Tutorial

Before starting this tutorial, I would highly recommend that you make sure you write down and review all the following terms. Most of them should be in the glossary for this course. You can also find them in this tutorial. You do not have to turn this part in. This is just a helpful reminder to help you prepare for Test #2.

For Test #2, you are permitted to use one page of notes front and back with all of these definitions. I realize that this is based on the honor system, but it has been my experience that if you have one page of notes with these terms you can still finish the exam in a timely manner.
