THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE

Last week we learned about the global exchange of goods, ideas, people and diseases known as the Columbian Exchange.  There were both positive and negative effects. The disease that came from Europe were killed many of the Native Americans.  Some of the Europeans believed that God was killing them and that meant that they were supposed to be there.  Be sure to check out your chart in the notebook as well as page 71 in the text to see the many different items that were 'exchanged'.  The contact between Europe and the Americas changed the world!

Want a Brave Achievement card?  Comment below explaining which one of the exchanged items surprised you the most.  Be sure to give details on why it is such a surprise.

WHY GO?

"God. Goods. Greed. What do these words have in common? If you guessed that they're all reasons for Europeans to travel to America, you are right! In today's activity, students made a brainstorming paper of all the words starting with the letter G that might play a factor in a European coming to the Americas. The first page of the History Binder was set up today, with a simple title page."
