Follow these five steps to complete your research and presentation.
Select one of the five European colonial powers to research: Portugal, Spain, England, France, or The Netherlands. Each played a unique role in shaping the world through colonialism.
Using the provided resources, investigate your country's driving factors for colonialism and explore the lasting effects that colonization had on the world. Take careful notes and track your sources.
Using a digital tool of your choice, design an infographic listing your country's colonial territories, motivations for becoming a colonial power, and effects on colonized peoples. Cite at least 2 sources in APA format.
At the end of the week, a class 'researcher's conference' will be held. You will present your infographic findings to your fellow researchers and discuss what you discovered.
After the seminar, write a short paragraph detailing how your chosen country's colonialism journey relates to that of the other European countries. Analyze how effects of all countries' colonialism are still felt today.
