KC 2.1.1.a Spanish efforts to extract wealth form the land led them to develop institutions based on subjugating native populations, converting them to Christianity, and incorporating them, along with enslaved and free Africans, into the Spanish colonial society.
KC 2.1.1.b French and Dutch colonial efforts involved relatively few Europeans and relied on trade alliances and intermarriage with American Indians to build economic and diplomatic relationships and acquire furs and other products for export to Europe.
KC 2.1.1.c English colonization efforts attracted a comparatively large number of male and female British migrants, as well as other European migrants, all of whom sought social mobility, economic prosperity, religious freedom, and improved living conditions. These colonists focused on agriculture and settled on land taken from Native Americans, from whom they lived separately.

For Academic Conversations, students are divided into two (2) teams: Viewpoint A & Viewpoint B. Each team reads their viewpoint and conducts research (compiles evidence) to defend the position. Teams come back together and conduct the conversation either in a live setting or virtually setting (Zoom breakout room or shared Google Doc)

The following section material focuses on developing historical thinking and writing skills. You may be asked to simply review the information; you may be asked to review the information and complete a Google Form to submit completion of the task and to submit questions or concerns regarding the process or the strategy; or you may be asked to practice the skill by submitting an assignment to Google Classroom.
Causation: Graphic Organizers: Review the page focusing on Causation, Apply your understanding of causation prompts to your Topic Reflection by incorporating a graphic organizer that shows cause and effect.
Topic Sentences: Review the page focusing on Topic Sentences. Apply your understanding of Topic sentences to your future DBQ and LEQ responses.
Academic Conversation
Academic Conversation
Participating in an Academic Conversation is a highly encouraged practice for this course. In the live setting classroom, we have academic conversations almost daily. Most of the time is focused on collaborating on conducting research to address an essential question. Then, those findings which includes a thesis statement is shared with other colleagues. During times of distance learning, you will be encouraged to reach out to your colleagues and create your own academic conversation groups (like a study group). Although having a regular group of colleagues to conduct Academic Conversations can be comfortable, you are encouraged to engage in conversations with different individuals to reach beyond your comfort zone and meet new people, to explore diverse perspectives, and to develop collaboration skills. Diversity strengthens the conversations and leads to a deeper understanding of the material. If we are using Congregate.live tables, Shared Google Docs, or Zoom breakout rooms, you may be on occasion randomly assigned to a group or allowed to select your own group.
You can approach the conversation in a couple of ways:
Conduct individual research in your preferred format (align to your Topic Reflection assignment) and then discuss your findings
As a team using a mutually agreed upon format (align to the Topic Reflection assignment), discuss while conducting research. The Topic Reflection and thesis statement will be a collaboration. Make sure you identify each team members name on the Topic Reflection.
Formats:
Create a mind map. Write the thesis statement on the top or bottom of the page or as the central idea. This format is very popular for scholars using whiteboards (digital or live).
Create an infographic. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page. This format has been used on whiteboards and shared documents.
Create a formal outline. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page or as the header to this section if compiling all notes for this module together. If the file is not setup for collaborators to work on separate pages or sections, this format can lead to frustrating research sessions
Create a graphic organizer. Write the thesis statement on the top of the page. This format is commonly used by scholars using a shared document.
In a group of 2-4 colleagues, participate in an academic conversation focusing on the following topic/s:
Topic Essential Question
this will result in a collaborative Topic Reflection and thesis statement which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
