This week we are finishing up the Age of Exploration. Students worked hard on research and making sure they understand the famous explorers. Starting next week, students will begin to study WHY the European countries decided to colonize, how do cultural beliefs impact colonization and how the Europeans nations spread disease throughout the New World.
Students will study the Columbian Exchange, the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage. During this time in history, many countries claimed land from Native Americans, then set up colonies in order to establish the land as their own. We will begin a project where students will study the trade routes and identify the causes and effects, analyze the pros and cons of each route and explain the impact of colonization on slavery.
