Columbian Exchange Effects Article, Chapter 16 Biomes
Current Events #21 & 22 due Monday Nov 21st
Objective: Given access to a Chromebook, students will be able to access Google MyMaps App and a Google Drive based Current Events Template from the class Blog. Using the MyMaps app and the template, students will be able to look-up current events and summarize their selected story on the template. In addition students will be able to use the MyMaps app to plot the location of these current event stories.
Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set. In addition, students need to become geographical aware of the world around them.
Evidence: Filling-in the Current Events template as well as using MyMaps to plot the location of the stories, will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of fulfilling the assignment.

Colombian Exchange Day 3
Objective(s):
Given a chromebook with access to Google Docs, students will be able to analyze the various food products, diseases, and human cargo transferred between the Old World, Africa and the New World, and explain with detail the effects, both positive and negative experienced by each participant.
Rationale: Understanding first impressions of groups who had never seen 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.
