Diplomatic, economic, cultural, and military interactions between empires, nations, and peoples shape the development of America and America's increasingly important role in the world.
KC 2.1.3.c Interactions between European rivals and American Indian populations fostered both accommodation and conflict. French, Dutch, British, and Spanish colonies allied with and armed American Indian groups, who frequently sought alliances with Europeans against other Indian groups.
KC 2.1.3.e British conflicts with American Indians over land, resources, and political boundaries led to military confrontations, such as Metacom’s War (King Philip’s War) in New England.
KC 2.1.3.f American Indian resistance to Spanish efforts in North America, particularly after the Pueblo Revolt, led to Spanish accommodation of some aspects of American Indian culture in the Southwest.

These readings may be used as optional readings to examine opposing viewpoints on the topic; to complete a Sum HIPPOS activity, or to conduct a live or virtual Academic Conversations.
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)
OPTIONAL: SUPPLEMENTAL: Reading: Exchange between John Smith and Powhatan 1608

Crash Course
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.
Responding to a DBQ with Five Primary Sources: Review the page focusing on DBQs. Apply your understanding of using documents in historical reasoning skill of contextualization in your future well-organized essay responses.
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
The following activities are considered works in progress. Although progress checks will be completed and feedback provided, you will only officially submit them a few times during the term. This will provide you flexibility in completing them with accuracy, depth, and purpose. Completion of these activities promote long-term preparation for the course and AP exams.
Extended Research files will be provided through our Google Classroom.
Conduct extended research and complete the following key concepts:
2.1.3.c
2.1.3.e
2.1.3.f
Conduct extended research and then complete the following SAQ prompts:
SAQ Topic 6
Submit both assignments at the conclusion of the module.
Log into AP Classroom, your My AP account, to access the assignment. These questions are designed to provide you immediate feedback. Use the feedback to determine if you are ready to proceed to the next topic, if you should review this topic, or revisit this topic at a later date.
Go to your My AP account and complete the following assignment.
Topic 2.5
Gather and report information (specific, relevant vocabulary, names, dates, and details) that would be used to write a formal response that answers the essential question for this topic. Refer to Topic 1.1 for full assignment details.
