Period 5 (1450 - 1750) - Agenda

Think you have WHAP under control, then along comes Period 5.

                         STAY TUNED FOR AGENDA

I am working on laying out the rest of the course up until Final Exams. I will have a due date schedule that covers Period 5 (chapters 13,14,15) posted here by the end of the day today. But until then, here are some planning tips: 

The 90 minutes in class we missed today should cover your Chapter 13 Quiz AND starting Southernization. 

Just a word to the wise on this reading. It is challenging. It is college-level history. It has been used (excerpted) on many AP World exams over the years, so it is worth your time. It is also an excellent review of the Indian Ocean Trade Network. Based on the Midterms, I think is is well worth our time as a class to shore up some of details related to this important trade network. Here is how I would approach the reading:

1. Highlight and make notes in the margins as you go. (Patrick - just highlight SOME parts :-)

2. Underline key technologies, goods and civilizations. This is content you can use on the Early Modern Mapapalooza for IOTN.

3. Try to identify the 1-2 sentences that contain Shaffer's thesis. Circle them.

4. Then (using some other system of demarcation) make note of key evidence or reasoning that supports the thesis.

* REMINDER- know those AP regions (aka. South Asia = modern territories of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka)
