Do-Now

• Revisit the final meaning of the definition of periodization (with hand signals) with your group and create a sentence that demonstrates your understanding of the word. Write that sentence in your CCD and be prepared to share out. •Have your reading (and notes) on your

desk for me to review.

CCD-Interpretation

• Prediction•What is Mann’s argument in the

excerpt (interpretation)•How do you know? (Evidence)

The Earliest Americans: What are the origins of the earliest Americans and what similarities and differences exist in their cultures?

Objectives• I can briefly explain theories of

people being in the Americas• I can differentiate between

interpretation and evidence by outlining scholarly excerpts

How did people get here?

• Religion vs. Science•Different cultures have different

stories (religion)• Creation stories (religion)• Theory of evolution (science)•What’s the main difference between

the different approaches?

Bering Land Bridge, p. 6

Three-wave migration

• First about 35,000 years ago• Second between 15,000 and 9,000

years ago, possibly by boat. • Third about 5000 years ago•What type of economy mainly

developed? Why?

Hunting and Gathering

• Paleolithic Era (before farming was invented)

Birth of Agriculture• About 5000 BCE, people in the highlands of Mexico

developed a wild grass into maize (corn). • What changed as a result?

Evidence vs. Interpretation

•What is evidence?

Tribes of North AmericaCase study of 4 regions

1. Powhatans of the Eastern Woodland2. Sioux of the Great Plains3. Anasazi/Pueblo of the Southwest4. Kwakitul/Inuit People of the Northwest

Task:1. Read the text on your assigned region and fill in that portion of the graphic

organizer. • In your first group, share your findings, add to your charts and clarify anything you

don’t fully understand and can explain.• Figure out where your assigned group lived and code it on your map

2. In new groups, take turns sharing your findings with your group, allowing them time to fill in their charts and ask questions. Do not let people copy.

3. As a group, identify 6 direct comparisons about Native American groups in the area now known as the United States (3 similarities and 3 differences).

4. Take your map and color the region of the US inhabited by the various groups. Draw two symbols on each region that represents important characteristics of that region.

Questions to Consider

• Which group was most mobile? Explain. • Which group seemed the least mobile? Explain.• Which group was most impacted by farming? • Which group was least impacted by farming?• Which group do you think had the most equal gender

relations? Explain. • Most of what we learned in these readings show little

Objectives• Outcomes

• I can identify and briefly explain theories of people being (starting) in the Americas• I can compare and contrast Native

American cultures in a general context• I can explain what will be expected of

me on a weekly basis in the course for the year and demonstrate that with a completed note-taking assignment

Tribes of North America

Early Native American Groups• Theme: Environment and Geography• Current Event Focus: Global Warming• Historical Thinking Skill: Comparison• Objective: I can generalize how different Native American

groups lived prior to European contact and explain how their environment impacted their cultures.

Outcomes Friday 9/6

• I can compare and contrast Native American cultures in a general context• I can demonstrate my note taking skills

with an assessment• I can briefly explain European

motivations for traveling to and colonizing the Americas• I can begin an analysis of a primary

source

Native Americans

•7 million people north of Mexico about 1492 •40 million Mexico and south•What accounts for the difference in

population?

World Trade Routes-1450

World Trade

Europeans Get Motivated

• Jealous of other major empires, Europeans begin to explore the seas

• Portugal and Vasco de Gama to Indian Ocean

• Motivates Spain to send Columbus West

• Columbus randomly bumps into the Americas (discovery??)

Spain and Portugal(1500s)• Hernan Cortes conquers Aztecs

• Francisco Pizarro conquers Incas

• Portugal takes Brazil

• Spain has empire everywhere else

• Great Britain and France are not relevant yet

North America

•Not hugely desired

• Climate is so-so

• Spain and Portugal don’t need it

•Great Britain and France get the “left overs”

•Spain’s empire is in decline after wasting all their silver

Who first came to the Americas and why?

Peasants from Spain, Germany and Great Britain (England)Poor people, few rights, little to no property, deeply religious
