Create a graph
The Tainos were the first Native Americans that Columbus encountered. Use the information on the next slide to create a graph showing what happened to the Taino population after contact with Europeans.
Create your graph.
1. Draw your x axis. Draw your y axis. 2. Label the x axis YEARS. 3. Label your y axis POPULATION IN
THOUSANDS. 4. Think about a number scale you can
use for the y axis. 5. Fill in the numbers on the y axis. 6. Write a title on the top of your graph. 7. Use the information on the next slide
to finish your graph.
