Assignment #3

Good Day Folks,

This will be the last summer assignment before school starts next week.  It will again be in two parts. Please finish and post your answers BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS ON 8/26/2015.

Part One: Reading Brinkley pp. 23-31. 
While you considered the causes for European exploration and settlement in the New World, we need to focus more specifically on England(to become Great Britain after 1707) as their explorations and settlements became the United States.  Using the information from the reading, explain the specific causes that led England to begin to establish colonies along the Atlantic seaboard of North America at the beginning the 17th century.

Part Two:  Reading Brinkley Where Historians Disagree pp. 6-7 and 8-10, as well as pp. 18-20 "Biological and Cultural Exchanges"

After completing the readings, Explain the reasons that historians interpret the past differently.  Then examine the arguments about the population of Native Americans in the Americas pre-contact.  Why has there been a debate about this issue, and what does it tell us about historical arguments?

Have a great final week, I will be in my room during the week, mainly in the mornings so stop by if you have a chance.  See you next week.

Mr. Predmore
