Thursday & Friday Nov 16th & 17th Days 60 & 61

Colombian Exchange Day 3

Objective(s):
Given a chromebook with access to Google Docs, students will be able to analyze primary documents of the various groups involved in Columbus' first encounter with the native populations in Western Hemisphere and evaluate the impression each had of each other.
Rationale: Understanding first impressions of groups who had never see or interacted before will provide some valuable insights about an exchange of cultures which is somewhat impossible to replicate in the 21st century

Evidence: Being able to evaluate and analyze first encounters will demonstrate that students understand the isolation the native people of the Western Hemisphere had for all those years.
