Assignment #1: Native American Cultures APUSH Key Concept 1.1
Geographical Culture Groups
The so-called "Period 1" of the AP US History
course outline focuses on the period from 1491 (a generic designation for the
Americas pre-contact) to 1607 (the establishment of the Jamestown Colony). Please
note: As residents of New Mexico we may have a more informed view of Native
American tribes, however this assignments reflects information suggested by AP
College Board.
-In the new AP US History curriculum, Key Concept 1.1 focuses
on the development of Native American societies in the years preceding and
immediately following European contact. Key Concepts describes
the characteristics of Native American societies between 1491 and 1607,
describing and comparing the characteristics of the major regional tribal
groups (Arctic, Plains, Great Lakes, Southwest, and Southeast).
Watch video and complete the graphic organizer & the map regarding information/location of early Native Amerian tribes.
Assignment #2: Columbian Exchange &
Atlantic Trade APUSH Key Concept 1.2
Before learning
about the European colonies, it's necessary to place them within the system of
Atlantic trade in which they existed. The permanent system of contact and
trade between the Old and New Worlds that was established by Columbus' voyages
is known as the Columbian
Exchange. The best place to start learning about the
Columbian Exchange is Wikipedia. The Wikipedia article on the Columbian Exchange as "the
widespread transfer of animals, plants, culture, human populations, technology and ideas between the American
and Afro-Eurasian hemispheres in the 15th and 16th centuries." Using
this framework put forward by the article, complete this graphic organizer to help you organize the
specifics of the Columbian Exchange in each of these areas. You may use
the Wikipedia article and any other online resources that you find helpful -
just be sure to make a note of what other sources you end up using. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbian_exchange
Assignment #3: Colonial Encounters Video Lectures APUSH
Key Concepts 1.3 & 2.1
It is important that APUSH students know the key
characteristics of Spanish, French,
Dutch, and British colonizers and be able to compare and contrast the
differing goals of each colonial power (APUSH Key Concept 2.1).
These video lectures detail the key characteristics and goals of Spanish,
French, and Dutch colonizers in addition to comparing and contrasting their economic
pursuits and methods in dealing with the Native Americans they encountered. Use the graphic organizers for organizing this
information.
