Mathematics
Task: The student will
translate information from three sources to one new source of
information.
Materials Needed:
Textbook, page 280; graph paper
Directions: Different
types of graphs have different uses. A pie chart reveals changes in
portions of a whole. The pie charts on page 280 clearly show which groups

three pie charts into a single line graph that shows the growth of the
total voting population in England--from the 7% of 1832, to the 28% of
1867, 1884, to the 74% of 1918.
Please note: A line graph is
particularly good for showing the direction of trends (up or down) over
time. |

Scramble for Africa
Task: The students will
be introduced to the European "scramble for Africa" as they
claim possession of classroom furniture and attempt to reconfigure the
classroom.
Purpose: Students will
be able to compare their race to the competition between European
countries to control African territory.
Materials Needed:
Student Handout; index cards; tape
Directions: Each group
will create a name for their country and create a simple flag to represent
the group. The flag will be drawn on several index cards. Each group will
then create a map showing how their group would like to reconfigure the
classroom. Groups will then place their flag on any piece of furniture in
the classroom that they want to "claim" as theirs in the new
arrangement. Each group will be given a handout with specific directions.
Each group needs to follow the directions precisely as written.
Discussion Questions: Respond to the following prompt.

Quest for Empire
Task: Students will
examine the motives behind the goal of European territorial expansion
around the globe.
Purpose: To better
understand the motives behind the European rush to create colonial empires
at the end of the nineteenth century. Students are introduced to five
different types of motives for empire building--political, economic,
exploratory, religious, and ideological.
Materials Needed: Placards
of African artifacts, matrix
Directions: Students
will be placed in pair groups. Each student will recreate the matrix
provided in his/her notebook the day before this activity. The matrix will
be completed during the activity.
Each pair will be given a
placard and describe what they see, draw their symbol for each motive, and
write a brief explanation of why they chose the motive(s) they did. This
process will be repeated for several other placards.
Students will then view of map
of colonial empires to connect the motives to the actual empires of 1914.
Student
Response: Make a spectrum on the left side of your notebook that ranges
from "Most Praiseworthy Motive" to "Least Praiseworthy
Motive." Work with a small group to discuss to what extent each of
the five motives was praiseworthy. Afterward, record your responses (which
may differ from your group members) on your spectrum with a one-sentence
justification for each placement. |
