Wednesday September 3rd

Today - we will view your projects on Native American Cultures and read part of chapter 2 (the part that deals with our time period 1491-1607).

If you missed yesterday, you need to finish reading Don't Know Much About History up to page 23.

Finally, you have a test on Monday.  If we have time, today and tomorrow you need to answer (in a group of 3), the following objectives (POST YOUR ANSWERS):

Identity – How did the identities of colonizing and indigenous American societies change as a result of contact in the Americas?
Work, Exchange, and Technology – How did the Columbian Exchange – the mutual transfer of material goods, commodities, animals, and diseases – affect interaction between Europeans and natives and among indigenous peoples in North America?
Peopling – Where did different groups settle in the Americas (before contact) and how and why did they move to and within the Americas (after contact)?
Politics and Power – How did Spain’s early entry into colonization in the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America shape European and American developments in this period?
America in the World – How did European attempts to dominate the Americas shape relations between Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans?
Environment and Geography – How did pre-contact populations of North America relate to their environments?  How did contact with Europeans and Africans change these relations in North America?
Ideas, Beliefs, and Cultures – How did cultural contact challenge the religious and other values systems of peoples from the Americas, Africa, and Europe?
