  1. Aim: Who was Christopher Columbus? Title: Columbus and other European Explorers. Do Now: 1) What significant event happened in 1492? 2) Create a two column chart to examine life prior to (before) 1492 andpost (after) 1492. Please note that specificity is the name of the game here: Life in Europe and the Americas

  2. Reviewing the handout pertaining today’s activity

  3. Today’s Learning Objectives: • Identify three stated aims of Columbus' voyages: God [Christianity], Gold [bullion: silver & gold], & Glory [exploration/chance to see the world/discover new things/places – get away from the boring manor]. • Describe the native people Europeans encountered and the results of their contact. • Compare the goals of early European exploration with the results.

  4. Discussing Columbus: • Brief discussion on last week’s homework pertaining to Columbus. Who was he? • Everyone must have his or her homework in front of him or her in anticipation of partaking in this discussion. • What questions did you formulate on your own? As per the homework, all were asked to bring forth a minimum of three (3) queries pertaining to Columbus, European explorers, and the era/period in question.

  5. Videos centered on Columbus: • Watch a few videos surrounding Columbus, his explorations and its rippling effects/ramifications dating back to the late 15th century to this very date.

  6. Homework# 25 • 1. Read 16.3 – Please read it! • 2. Create (write it out) an original song, poem, rap, etc., surrounding/focused on how Europeans treated “others”: Non-Europeans = native & Africans. • Unless you want to listen to Jason’s “boring” Rastafarian (i.e., Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Steele Pulse, etc.) music (LOL), come to class with some music focused on oppression (slavery, discrimination: color, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, etc.) by one group over another. We will play/blast [BUMP] some music surrounding oppression.
