WELCOME BACK!!

Objective: "I will be able to construct a written response of whether the Columbian Exchange was an overall positive event or not and explain why by analysing videos and summaries by asking good questions and doing my best on the prompt."

Classwork: We watched small videos on the effects of Columbus arriving to the Americas.  We focused on the exchange of ideas, plants, animals, and people, that began due to that arrival.  A large majority of discussion was around what the Europeans exported to the Americas, and what the Americas exported to Europe.  It was a discussion of cause and effect as well. 

Homework:  Tomorrow we will answer the prompt with a much better understanding than previously thought.
