As we make our way through history, a major topic of study is slavery.The institution of Slavery spans from colonial times with the first slaves arriving at Jamestown in 1619 and culminating in the bloody Civil War and the ratification of the XIII Amendment in 1865.
One of the great stories found in this tragic episode of history is the triumph of those who operated the Underground Railroad.
Harriet Tubman (a former slave) and thousands of others both black and white /enslaved and free kept hope alive by saving and inspiring untold thousands.
The movie we will start on Monday is the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery and transformation into one of America's greatest heroes, whose courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of enslaved people and changed the course of history.
The movie has strong language and violence - students will be expected to approach this movie with maturity and respect.

The Columbian Exchange and what was exchanged. A map has been provided along with icons of goods/ideas exchanged. You will want to cut these items out and display them on the board.

Three mini-paragraphs explaining some aspect of the OLD world meeting the NEW world:
Possible topics: the impact of one item exchanged; the first Americans, one of the explorers, some aspect of technology…..etc….
-
A colored coated map or graph displaying the main European powers that colonized the ‘New World’: Spain, Portugal, France, England.

Alternative Columbian Exchange Poster Project
Poster Directions: Your project this week is to create a map poster showing the exchange of cultural and natural items between Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans.
Step One: Create an outline map of the Atlantic Ocean and bordering continents.
Only use the poster paper provided
-
Use the outline map of continents, to draw / enlarge the shape of the continents on your map. You are not allowed to trace, copy or project the map. It must be completed in “free hand” form.
-
Sketch the outline in pencil first and use marker when you are happy with the result.
Use the rules of map standard making
-
Shade the continents in the same color. Shade the ocean in light blue.
-
USE INK to write labels for each continent and Atlantic Ocean in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Step Two:
ILLUSTRATE the movement of 10 or more items that were in “exchange”.
-
You may include arrows that indicate the movement of products to and from certain places on the earth.
-
Your artwork should be neat, attractive, and artistic.
-
You may illustrate with original art drawing, clip art, photographs, or clippings from magazines or actual labels from cans of food in your cupboard or frozen packages in your freezer.
-
You may use the handouts provided by Mr. Saindon
-
Be sure to use color
Rubric:
Poster expresses an accurate, clear, and thorough description what flowed from the 'old world to the new world' and from the new world to the old world'.
Illustrations must include short supporting explanations utilizing topic study materials and handouts or what was learned in this course.
Your poster needs to be carefully assembled, display symmetry, and pop with color and creativity.
Mr. Saindon will be in his room at lunch all week to help out and to print anything you might need.
