Today in class I "opened up the playbook" and gave you some key points that you should definitely have an understanding of for tomorrow's assessment. Here is a truncated version of what I gave in class today:
-Jamestown
Why was it settled?
Why did they choose the site?
What were the unknown negatives of that particular site?
How bad did it get for the first group of colonists?
What ultimately saved the colony?
Who were the major players (important people)?
How did King James' view of the colony change?
-Maryland
-Why was it founded?
-Who was Lord Baltimore?
-3 Major European Powers
-Be able to compare/contrast their efforts at exploring/colonizing the Western Hemisphere
-How they treated the native people
-What changes were brought to North America
-Be able to pinpoint the place/time/event where the African slave trade was introduced in North America.
That's all for now. Good luck tomorrow--be prepared!
