i. This Unit will align with several NCSCOS standards including:
W.H.H.4.1 Explain how interest in classical learning and religious reform
contributed to increased global interaction (e.g., Renaissance, Protestant
Reformation, Catholic Reformation, printing revolution, etc.). W.H.H.4.4
Analyze the effects of increased global trade on the interactions between
nations in Europe, Southwest Asia, the Americas and Africa (e.g.,
exploration, mercantilism, inflation, rise of capitalism, etc.). W.H.H.5.1
Explain how and why the motivations for exploration and conquest
resulted in increased global interactions, differing patterns of trade,
colonization, and conflict among nations (e.g., religious and political
motives, adventure, economic investment, Columbian exchange,
commercial revolution, conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan
civilizations, Triangular Trade, Middle Passage, trading outposts,
plantation colonies, rise of capitalism, etc.). W.H.H.5.2 Explain the causes
and effects of exploration and expansion (e.g., technological innovations
and advances, forces that allowed the acquisition of colonial possessions
and trading privileges in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Colombian
exchange). W.H.H.5.3 Analyze colonization in terms of the desire for
access to resources and markets as well as the consequences on indigenous
cultures, population, and environment (e.g., commercial revolution,
Columbian exchange, religious conversion, spread of Christianity, spread
of disease, spread of technology, conquistadors, slave trade, encomienda
system, enslavement of indigenous people, mixing of populations, etc.).
f. P21- 21st Century Student Outcomes Alignment
i. This Unit will align with several P21 Framework standards specifically
within the 4 C’s of Innovation skills: Critical Thinking, Collaboration,
Creativity and Communication. Through the constant elaboration upon,
and comparison of contrasting viewpoints of European Powers and
indigenous populations students will be forced to assess and reassess their
current understandings of Colonial History, Global Economics, and of
historical and moral “Right and Wrong” in the Age of Exploration.
Additionally, this Unit’s focus in on the perspective of the indigenous
peoples, in addition to European explorers, helps to meet the Civic
Literacy standard within the P21 Framework through fostering a global
awareness and tolerance of multiple cultural viewpoints through this era.
g. Class and Learner Profiles
i. This Unit will be taught in a suburban high school setting, with an
ethnically diverse student population of approximately equal parts African
American and Caucasian students, in addition to a smaller (approximately
10%) population of Hispanic students. The high school is located in a
small suburb with a median income of $38,000 and mixed blue and white
![Page 4: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
collar employment. This classroom holds limited technological
capabilities, primarily focusing on the teacher’s provided laptop and
projector. There are 6 classroom computers available for group activities
in the classroom. This high school historically has underperformed in the
NC AMO and Grow Score indexes, but recently qualified with a score of
72 this last school year to having “Met” their growth goals with a B score.
ii. This class is a standard level World History course. The student
background knowledge of the content is significantly limited, with the
exception of several advanced level learners. The class of 28 students
includes 8 students with individual IEP’s, and 2 ESL students. As such all
instruction activities are designed to be scaffolded significantly with
instructor support, and primary documentation analysis will be carefully
structured (shortened) to assist students. There are two students with track
records of disciplinary issues, and 4 students retaking this class as a result
of failing last year. With the significant African American and Hispanic
student body, significant portions of the Unit will be committed to
providing primary level- first person perspective- narrative history from
the perspective of contemporary African, Aztec, Incan, and Native
American cultures.
h. Overview of Pedagogical Strategies
i. Within the design of this unit each lesson is structured along the P21st
guidelines for curriculum and instruction in making efforts to teach 21st
century skills discretely within the context of key subjects. This unit
includes a variety of activities which require communication,
collaboration, and inquiry based learning on behalf of the students. These
activities include a role playing exercise on Martin Luther, an artistic
Wordle rendering of Exploration vocabulary, a written authentic
testimonial as an Incan court member, an analysis of authentic audio
excerpts of primary documentation, an authentic written journal entry on
the experience of the Middle Passage as a slave, and an in class mock
courtroom session placing Christopher Columbus on trial for crimes
against humanity. The diversity within these activities links the history
class to our schools English Literacy goals within the testimonial and
journal writing activities, to our Civic Awareness goals within the
perspective taking strategies of lessons, and to our Geography and
Economic goals within the content covered in the Mercantilist Age. Also
within the P21st framework, the students perform a research based inquiry
preparation for the final trial of Christopher Columbus at the end of the
unit which is an online independent work project, mimicking an outline of
a legal brief—both of which satisfy the Information-Media-and-
Technology-Skills and Life-and-Career-Skills aspects of the P21st
framework. As a part of a team of “Prosecutors” or “Defense” attorneys,
students will develop research, communication, collaboration, and
![Page 5: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
leadership skills while applying relevant content knowledge in a simulated
authentic 21st century workplace environment.
ii. The instructional goals for this unit will be two fold—to evaluate student
comprehension of NCES content standards as measured through formative
and summative assessment tools, and to gauge student comprehension of
the various perspectives of all the parties involved within the era of
Exploration, Interaction, and the New World Economy. The unit-wide
compelling question of “What wouldn’t you do for a million dollars”
shapes the activities which force students to move to a higher level critical
thinking and analysis of the decisions made by Europeans and Natives
within this first contact era. For example, knowing that Columbus seized
natives as slaves in the Bahamas is valuable, but researching primary
documentation on this event and preparing to question and cross examine
a witness in a mock courtroom session develops higher order thinking and
collaboration between peers (while also covering the content knowledge).
i. Assessment Plan
i. This unit will include several types of formative assessment, and one
summative assessment. Throughout the unit the activities described in H.i.
provide formative assessment for the instructor, and address a variety of
learning goals through different methods. From an artistic rendering, to
several written entries, to a research and in class oral performance, these
activities measure student comprehension of content matter but are more
specifically designed to gauge students’ ability to engage in historical
empathy, cooperate in groups, and explain the perspectives of various
historical figures in the first person within a historical context.
ii. The unit summative assessment is designed to gauge student
comprehension of NCES content matter and themes through a fill in the
blank exam with one extended written response to a prompt question. This
summative assessment is designed primarily to measure student learning
of the specific events, themes, and ideas outlined within the NCES
framework.
iii. The Plan for Reporting Outcomes within this unit follows our schools
standard grading system of an A being 90-100%, a B being 80-89%, a C
being 70-79%, a D being 60-69%, and a Failing grade being below a 60%
cumulative score. The summative assessment is weighted as 50% of the
unit’s grade for the students. The remaining 50% of the grade is split
between the various formative assessments described in H.i. on a points
basis as highlighted by each rubric. Classroom participation will be
recorded by the instructor on an individual basis, and a recorded 10
instances of meaningful participation—as decided by the instructor—will
result in 1 bonus percentage point on the summative assessment. There is
no ceiling for participation extra credit (ie: 20 instances equals two bonus
![Page 6: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
points, 30 instances equals three bonus points, etc). Mastery of the content
will be defined as a classroom grade of 85% or higher.

![Page 8: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This lesson is an introduction to 2 of the key concepts which were driving forces in
causing European Exploration- The Reconquista in Spain, and the Reformation of
Christianity in Europe. Students are already familiar with the importance of Christianity
to Medieval Europe, so the Reformation shouldn’t be too unfamiliar thematically. With a
28 student classroom, group activities are emphasized. With a diverse classroom,
multiple opportunities present themselves for making an effort to use projects to
continuously change heterogeneous groupings by ability and disciplinary concerns.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes, and copying the daily Board
Sentence.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
Time Instructional Activity
5
minutes
Students will copy down Board Sentence of the day and open their notes.
“In 700 CE the Muslim Moors controlled nearly the entire Iberian Peninsula of
what is today Spain. From 700 CE to 1300 CE the Spanish Lords fought a series
of brutal battles called the Reconquista, completed in 1492 CE.
The Reconquista united the Spanish Peninsula, helped establish a powerful
central monarchy, and opened Spain’s doors to the possibility of sea-
commerce.”
10
minutes
Students will participate in a group discussion lead by myself based on the
following prompt written on the board:
- “What wouldn’t you do for a million dollars, why”
- If prompting from myself necessary, ask “Would you steal, would you
lie, would you consider hurting someone?”
- Change the ‘million’ to ‘billion’
- Repeat prompts
- Add to the sentence “…and you would never go to jail”
- Consider class responses and briefly cap their moral stance to them, as
an introduction to the era of exploration and conflict
40
minutes
- Students will take 20 minutes to read from “Spain and America” – Intro
through Columbus’ Great Mistake.
- Students will take an additional 10 minutes to take notes in their answer
sheet
- I will write 4 terms on the boards: Moors, Reconquista, Ferdinand II,
and Christopher Columbus. I will separate the students into 4 groups and
![Page 9: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
they will rotate at each for 2-3 minutes working as a group to write the
key words or concepts about each that they learned from the reading.
We will take 5 minutes to review orally as a group after the exercise.
30
minutes
- 5 minutes to review indulgences with students: Award 3 students 10
extra credit points on their next test, throughout the explanation of
indulgences, remove them for past made up “Infractions”, cell phone
use, talking, etc. Tell them you will forgive them, so long as they give
up those extra points to you.
- Discuss how students feel about the notion of “paid forgiveness”
- Begin Martin Luther Exercise- 25 minutes to complete.
- Group students for exercise heterogeneously.
5
minutes
- Oral led review of today’s terms by myself. A 5 minute quick response
group review of the critical concepts of the day.
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
Four corners group review activity will aid ELL students in participating in a written
review, who might not feel comfortable speaking. Working in pre-determined groups
allows for heterogeneous pairing based on ability and disciplinary record.
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
When class ends, students will…
Work with myself on the 5 minute group oral review of today’s critical terms.
Assessment (How will you know students achieved the objectives?)
Formative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- Class Participation points in group
discussion recorded live time.
- Student participation in 4 board
concept review recorded live time.
- Student participation and graded
exercise in Martin Luther role play.
- 4 board written review strategy
allows for more inclusion for
diverse groups of students
Summative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- End of Unit Test will cover the
terminology from the Unit’s Board
Sentences, and NCES.
- All accommodations necessary will
be given to IEP Test takers and
ELL students, including alternative
assignments.

Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
End of Unit Explorer/Indigenous Research Profile will allow students to illustrate their
conceptual knowledge in a non-test driven sphere.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…
This class places an emphasis on the changing religious landscape of Europe in the 14th-
16th centuries, and relates well to the religious reasoning behind Explorers like
Columbus’ voyage which we will be examining tomorrow.

Protestant Reformation Role Play
Historical Context: The time period when Europeans rebelled against the Catholic Church is called the
Protestant Reformation. This began when Martin Luther wrote a letter to his Archbishop (Albert of
Mainz) called the 95 Theses, an explanation of why Pope Leo X’s idea of selling indulgences was wrong,
against the Bible, and against the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Your task: You are being assigned a specific role from the Protestant Reformation. After reading your
role, you must decide what should happen to Martin Luther. Choose one or more consequences for
Martin Luther and explain why you think this should be his consequence on the lines below. After this,
you will be in a group with the other roles and you will all try to convince the Pope to make a final
decision. Whatever the Pope decides in final, but he is letting you have input.
Roles:
Pope Leo X
A priest who has worked with Martin Luther
A peasant who volunteers at Martin Luther’s Catholic Church
The King of Saxony, a German land where Martin Luther lives and preaches
The Archbishop of Mainz, Germany (the region that includes Martin Luther’s church)
You are a priest. You have worked with Martin Luther for many years and see his point about the selling
of indulgences. However, you also know that the Catholic Church provides you with a job and if Luther
gets blamed for this, you might also get blamed since you work with him in the church. But you also
come across the same problems of people getting indulgences and then thinking they are free from all
their sins. People continue to sin but think they can pay their way out of it. But if the church doesn’t sell
indulgences, will they have enough money to keep paying all the priests? What if they don’t have
enough money for your own job?
What should happen to Luther? Choose one or more consequences and explain why on the lines.
1) Martin Luther should be excommunicated (make it a sin for any Christian to talk to him)
![Page 13: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2) Martin Luther should be exiled from his homeland in Saxony, Germany
3) Martin Luther should get a deal: if he recants (takes back) what he said, he can stay a monk
4) Start a Counter-Reformation. Make reforms like not selling indulgences, firing corrupt bishops who use church money on themselves, and start Christian schools. Also arrest anti-Catholic people. Torture them if needed to find enemies of the Catholic Church. This would be called an Inquisition.

The King of Saxony, a German land where Martin Luther lives and preaches
The Archbishop of Mainz, Germany (the region that includes Martin Luther’s church)
You are the Archbishop of Mainz (a region of Germany). You are in charge of many churches, including
the one where Martin Luther preaches. The Pope will hold you responsible for what Martin Luther does,
because he is under your control, and he does not want people to spread Luther’s ideas, but it is too late
– printers have already printed his 95 Theses. Other priests you control are reading Luther’s words. You
need to convince them that the Pope has the power to issue indulgences, and that the Bible is ok with
this. But some of these priests are starting to think that maybe the Catholic Church is not the only way
to believe in Jesus Christ – maybe they can start their own churches that are not Catholic. And
remember, the Catholic Church has been good to you, you are rich and powerful yourself. Someday,
maybe you could even be the Pope…
What should happen to Luther? Choose one or more consequences and explain why on the lines.

Protestant Reformation Role Play
Historical Context: The time period when Europeans rebelled against the Catholic Church is called the
Protestant Reformation. This began when Martin Luther wrote a letter to his Archbishop (Albert of
Mainz) called the 95 Theses, an explanation of why Pope Leo X’s idea of selling indulgences was wrong,
against the Bible, and against the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Your task: You are being assigned a specific role from the Protestant Reformation. After reading your
role, you must decide what should happen to Martin Luther. Choose one or more consequences for
Martin Luther and explain why you think this should be his consequence on the lines below. After this,
you will be in a group with the other roles and you will all try to convince the Pope to make a final
decision. Whatever the Pope decides in final, but he is letting you have input.
Roles:
Pope Leo X
A priest who has worked with Martin Luther
A peasant who volunteers at Martin Luther’s Catholic Church
The King of Saxony, a German land where Martin Luther lives and preaches
The Archbishop of Mainz, Germany (the region that includes Martin Luther’s church)
You are Pope Leo X. Martin Luther’s 95 Theses are ruing your reputation, since he criticizes you. He is
also criticizing one of the best ways of making money the Church has ever had – selling indulgences. You
cannot let him continue to speak such blasphemy against the Catholic Church. You could surely
excommunicate him, but he is now talking about making his own Lutheran Church, where people can
read the Bible on their own and have a personal relationship with God without any priest needing to be
involved. If Luther does this, then maybe others will do it too, and you’ll have an even bigger problem on
your hands. You could get help from the King of Saxony, where Luther lives, to try to silence him, or you
could try
What should happen to Luther? Choose one or more consequences and explain why on the lines.
1) Martin Luther should be excommunicated (make it a sin for any Christian to talk to him)

2) Martin Luther should be exiled from his homeland in Saxony, Germany
3) Martin Luther should get a deal: if he recants (takes back) what he said, he can stay a monk
4) Start a Counter-Reformation. Make reforms like not selling indulgences, firing corrupt bishops who use church money on themselves, and start Christian schools. Also arrest anti-Catholic people. Torture them if needed to find enemies of the Catholic Church. This would be called an Inquisition.

You are a peasant who volunteers at the Catholic Church where Martin Luther preaches. You know
this man as being very kind and generous, and you are confused about why people are against him. You
know that selling indulgences seems wrong, and you love hearing Martin Luther preach in church – he
really does well when he has freedom of speech. But you also trust that the Pope is God’s messenger on
earth and knows what the truth is. But something about selling indulgences seems wrong. Maybe the
Pope will change his mind about selling indulgences so Martin Luther can go free? Or maybe if the Pope
knew how Martin Luther is such a good Christian, he would reconsider how he feels about him? Or
maybe we can convince Martin Luther to take back what he said? Because you know him, you could
maybe try to talk to him…

You are the King of Saxony, the German land where Martin Luther lives. You are friends with the Pope,
but you also want to make sure that people know you are the boss of your kingdom. You want to simply
obey the Pope, but Martin Luther is a great professor who makes lots of people come to Saxony to
learn, study, invent things, and trade. He’s famous, and he lives in your kingdom, so you are kind of
famous too. The Pope is telling you to send soldiers out to find Martin Luther, and you could do this, but
you also don’t want to be bossed around by the Pope. If you could convince him to change his mind
without directly fighting against him, that would be the best solution. Or you could just become
Protestant yourself and risk other Catholic kings fighting against you.

lesson, class/student characteristics):
![Page 33: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
This lesson is an introduction to the various factors that drove European Explorers and
colonizers across the oceans. We have already discussed the importance of Christianity in
Medieval European daily life, so the concepts behind religious factors of exploration
should be relatable.
Throughout the Unit, we will tie the three G’s (God, Gold, Glory) introduced today to
group discussion around the Unit Question- What wouldn’t you do for a Million/Billion
dollars.
This standard level class of 28 includes 8 IEP students and 2 ESL students. Group
discussions on short in class projects punctuate reading/lecture work and serve as
additional formative assessment for students with ESL needs.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes, and copying the daily Board
Sentence.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
Time Instructional Activity
5
minutes
Students will copy down Board Sentence of the day and open their notes.
“European explorers like Christopher Columbus were motivated by a number
of rewards to travel the ocean in search of new trade routes. The most
important factors centered on God, Gold, and personal Glory.
But when Columbus arrived in the Bahamas in 1492, what would happen
when he met local peoples who didn’t believe in the same God, didn’t value
Gold, and didn’t care about Spain’s Glory?”
25
minutes
- Power Point lecture of critical concepts and terminology regarding the
3 G’s- God, Gold, and Glory as motivations for exploration.
25
minutes
- Directions will be written on the board- “As you read through these
letters look for and highlight any examples of the 3 G’s we just
discussed”.
- I will pass out and let the students read Columbus’ letter Part 1 for 7-10
minutes. I will then review the document with the students, helping to
work through the challenging language section by section, and asking
scaffolded questions to bring the point that wealth and religion were
central in Columbus’ mind in every decision he made in first contact.
- Students will take 10 minutes to write their written response and pass
to the front.
- I will pass out and let the students read Columbus’ letter Part II for 5
minutes.
![Page 34: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c.

- I will lead a group discussion with scaffolded questions including: Do
you feel differently about Columbus now, after reading this letter?
Why might natives believe Columbus was “Divine”? Would you have
behaved differently? If so, why? The goal here is to highlight
separately the confrontation explorers would run into in the New
World, and compare it to the glorious description in the rest of the
letter.
30
minutes
- Students will separate into pre-determined groups to draw a cartoon
reflecting a Mars scenario.
- Directions on the board:
- “Please draw a cartoon on a scratch piece of paper, you are a member
of a space expedition to Mars and have just encountered alien life.
Christopher Columbus is the captain of your crew. Given what you
have learned today, please draw the scenario you think might unfold of
how First Contact might happen. Be as creative in your illustrations as
you wish but include at least one quotation blurb for Columbus and the
alien which addresses at least one of the 3 G’s we reviewed today.”
5
minutes
- Oral led review of today’s terms by myself. A 5 minute quick response
group review of the critical concepts of the day.
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
Pre-Determined Pairing in group activities allows for heterogeneous grouping based on
ability and disciplinary record. In addition, cartoon activity enables students
uncomfortable with Oral or Written assessment to express their understanding of class
concepts for in class credit.
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
When class ends, students will…
Work with myself on the 5 minute group oral review of today’s critical terms, and turn in
their cartoons
Assessment (How will you know students achieved the objectives?)
Formative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- Individual Columbus Letter essays
will allow me to judge students’
comprehension of primary source
material, and class based concepts.
- Pair Cartoons will allow me to
judge students’ comprehension of
- Group discussion allows for more
equal participation opportunities for
students with writing challenges.
- Cartoon project offers additional
formative assessment credit for
students with writing apprehension.

primary source material, and class
based concepts.
- Student participation points are
ongoing through group discussions.
- Specialized teacher attention will be
provided during writing and cartoon
applied time to students as needed.
Summative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
End of Unit Test will cover the
terminology from the Unit’s Board
Sentences, and NCES.
All accommodations necessary will be
given to IEP Test takers and ELL students,
including alternative assignments.
Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
End of Unit Explorer/Indigenous Research Profile will allow students to illustrate their
conceptual knowledge in a non-test driven sphere.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…
This ending exercise into the motivations of Christopher Columbus fits well into the next
lesson which will examine the other famous Explorers, lands discovered, their trade
routes, and end with a contrasting exercise of first contact from a native perspective.

Christopher Columbus Letter to the King Part I
pistola Christofori Colom ...de insulis Indie supra Gangem
Rome, April 1493.
(abridged)
A Letter addressed to the noble Lord Raphael Sanchez, Treasurer to their most invincible
Majesties, Ferdinand and Isabella, King and Queen of Spain, by Christopher Columbus, to whom
our age is greatly indebted, treating of the islands of India re cently discovered beyond the
Ganges, to explore which he had been sent eight months before under the auspices and at the
expense of their said Majesties.
. . . Thirty-three days after my departure from Cadiz I reached the Indian sea, where I
discovered many islands, thickly peopled, of which I took possession without resistance in the
name of our most illustrious Monarch, by public proclamation and with unfurled banners. To
the first of these islands, which is called by the Indians Guanahani, I gave the name of the
blessed Saviour (San Salvador), relying upon whose protection I had reached this as well as the
other islands; to each of these I also gave a name, ordering that one should be called Santa
Maria de la Concepcion, another Fernandina, the third Isabella, the fourth Juana, and so with all
the rest respectively. . . .
. . . In that island also which I have before said we named Espanola, there are mountains of very
great size and beauty, vast plains, groves, and very fruitful fields, admirably adapted for tillage,
pasture, and habitation. The convenience and excellence of the harbors in this island, and the
abundance of the rivers, so indispensable to the health of man, surpass anything that would be
believed by one who had not seen it. The trees, herbage, and fruits of Espanola are very
different from those of Juana, and moreover it abounds in various kinds of spices, gold, and
other metals. . . .
![Page 40: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
. . . Finally, to compress into few words the entire summary of my voyage and speedy return,
and of the advantages derivable therefrom, I promise, that with a little assistance afforded me
by our most invincible sovereigns, I will procure them as much gold as they need, as great a
quantity of spices, of cotton, and of mastic (which is only found in Chios), and as many men for
the service of the navy as their Majesties may require. I promise also rhubarb and other sorts of
drugs, which I am persuaded the men whom I have left in the aforesaid fortress have found
already and will continue to find…
But these great and marvellous results are not to be attributed to any merit of mine, but to the
holy Christian faith, and to the piety and religion of our Sovereigns; for that which the unaided
intellect of man could not compass, the spirit of God has granted to human exertions, for God is
wont to hear the prayers of his servants who love his precepts even to the performance of
apparent impossibilities. . . .
Such are the events which I have briefly described. Farewell.
Lisbon, the 14th of March.
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS,
Admiral of the Fleet of the Ocean.

Christopher Columbus Letter to the King Part II
Epistola Christofori Colom ...de insulis Indie supra Gangem
Rome, April 1493.
(abridged)
. . On my arrival at that sea, I had taken some Indians by force from the first island that I came
to, in order that they might learn our language, and communicate to us what they knew
respecting the country; which plan succeeded excellently, and was a great advantage to us, for in
a short time, either by gestures and signs, or by words, we were enabled to understand each
other. These men are still travelling with me, and although they have been with us now a long
time, they continue to entertain the idea that I have descended from heaven; and on our arrival at
any new place they published this, crying out immediately with a loud voice to the other Indians,
“Come, come and look upon beings of a celestial race”: upon which both women and men,
children and adults, young men and old, when they got rid of the fear they at first entertained,
would come out in throngs, crowding the roads to see us, some bringing food, others drink, with
astonishing affection and kindness. . . .
. . . Finally, to compress into few words the entire summary of my voyage and speedy return,
and of the advantages derivable therefrom, I promise, that with a little assistance afforded me by

quantity of spices, of cotton, and of mastic (which is only found in Chios), and as many men for
the service of the navy as their Majesties may require.

Lesson Title: #3 Explorers, Trade Routes, and Discoveries.
Unit of Study: Exploration, Interaction, and the New World Economy
Objectives: (What do you want your students to be able to do?)
TSWBAT:
- Identify 3 major European explorers and their discoveries.
- Define the role of Scarcity in a Mercantilistic World Economy.
- Produce a visual representation (Wordle) highlighting the key concepts of
exploration in lessons 1-3.

nations in Europe, Southwest Asia, the Americas and Africa (e.g., exploration,
mercantilism, inflation, rise of capitalism, etc.).
WH.H.5.1: Explain how and why the motivations for exploration and conquest resulted
in increased global interactions, differing patterns of trade, colonization, and conflict
among nations (e.g., religious and political motives, adventure, economic investment,
Columbian exchange, commercial revolution, conquistador destruction of Aztec and
Incan civilizations, Triangular Trade, Middle Passage, trading outposts, plantation
colonies, rise of capitalism, etc.).
WH.H.5.4: Analyze the role of investment in global exploration in terms of its

Context (lesson’s relation to unit as a whole, students’ prior knowledge important for this
lesson, class/student characteristics):
This lesson serves as a cumulative review of European Explorers, and an introduction to
the notion of economic scarcity in a Mercantilist world Economy as a precursor to
tomorrow’s class on Colonization. Students know that “God, Gold, and Glory” mattered
in Explorers taking risks in the new world, I want them to now understand the concept of
economics as a race, and pick for themselves what terminologies/ideas they think were
most important when thinking about European Exploration.
Given the ELL needs of the classroom in addition to 3 student’s recurring distractions of
talking during class, grouping of the students requires careful consideration to maintain
class focus during the Wordle Exercise.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes, and copying the daily Board
Sentence.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
Time Instructional Activity
5
minutes
Students will copy down Board Sentence of the day and open their notes.
“The economic theory of Mercantilism dominated Europe during the
Age of Exploration. Mercantilism is based on the idea of Economic
Scarcity, or the idea that there is a limited amount of resources in this
world. Governments tried to establish a Favorable Balance of Trade, or
take more from others than you give away.”
10
minutes
Mercantilism Scarcity Exercise (hook):
- When students arrive there will be 3 slips of paper on 3 student desks:
Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
- I will begin by explaining the concept of Mercantilism and Scarcity to
the students orally, while carrying globe one. I will call Globe One the
“Old World”. The globe holds literally all the world’s resources
(wealth).
- Students with the paper slips get first pick at candy, if students ask why-
explain these countries (students) have established navies and stable
economies. Point to “Spain” student and Reconquista for connection.
- Shake the globe, explain that this is literally all the wealth in the world,
if students (countries) want it, “What do you have to do?” Get students
to that answer, “Take it, before someone else!”
![Page 46: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
- As you walk around the room encourage students at desks to
energetically grab candy. Once the candy is gone, the world’s resources
are depleted.
- Final question, Pull the second globe from behind the teacher desk,
identify it as the New World, and ask students if they were European
Countries, what would you do once you discovered this new world of
wealth? Get students toward that answer “I’d take it!”
- Remind students to keep in mind these 2 globes, Old and New World, in
mind over the next 2 days.
20
minutes
Power Point Presentation
- Presentation to review the 3 G’s, Cover Mercantilism, and
Columbus/Cortes/De Gama.
- I will ask students to come to the front for participation to trace each
route with their finger on the map to physically connect the information
from the pp for learning.
- I will have prepared a series of 3 contemporary items (A Maserati, Air
Force One tennis shoes, and an average house in Winston-Salem) and
have students guess how many of these items could be bought with a
million dollars (tie it to the wealth Cortez/Columbus seized in a single
day) to keep students engaged.
35
minutes
Wordle Exercise
- Students will be separated into heterogeneous groups of 3 by ability and
disciplinary record.
- I will review the Wordle instructions sheet, and show the class the
Wordle Example.
- Students will work collaboratively, with regular feedback from the
teacher, on completing their visual presentation.
- Extra emphasis to be placed on the sizing of important terms in student
design- show to me that you understand which concepts are central, and
which are tertiary.
10
minutes
Student Group Presentations of Wordles
- Students will stand as a group of 3, highlight what their Wordle
represents, explain why they chose their specific shape/design, and
explain the reasoning for choosing the “Large Words” they utilized.
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
Pre-Determined groups (of 3) in Wordle activity allows for heterogeneous grouping by
ability and disciplinary record. In addition, Wordle activity enables students
uncomfortable with written assessments to creatively express their comprehension of the
daily class material via Art and the Oral Presentation.
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
![Page 47: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
When class ends, students will…
Take 5 minutes to collaboratively clean the room from any paper scraps on the floor and
return classroom arts supplies. We will double check that the names of all group
members are written on the back of the projects. As they exit they will turn in their
Wordle picture activities at the desk next to the classroom door to me, and show me their
names on the back.
Assessment (How will you know students achieved the objectives?)
Formative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- Student participation points are
ongoing through group discussion.
- Individual participation in Wordle
exercise highlights student’s
content knowledge.
- Student group Wordle presentations
and explanations for word choice
allow me to judge student
comprehension of critical/non
critical terminology.
- Heterogeneous grouping (3) by
ability benefits Billy XYZ’s ELL
daily needs in the Wordle Exercise.
- Group presentations are not timed
or overtly structured, students
uncomfortable with public speaking
can contribute as they are
comfortable.
Summative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
End of Unit Test will cover the
terminology from the Unit’s Board
Sentences, and NCES.
All accommodations necessary will be
given to IEP Test takers and ELL students,
including alternative assignments.
Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
End of Unit Explorer/Indigenous Research Profile will allow students to illustrate their
conceptual knowledge in a non-test driven sphere.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…

So far we have taken 2 interactive approaches to understanding motivations, background,
and the context for European Explorers in this age (Letter Lesson 2, Wordle Lesson 3).
As the “New World” globe today alludes to, tomorrow when we introduce the Columbian
Exchange and Colonization in greater detail we will jump into a native perspective of
“First Contact” experiences and tie the notion of Scarcity and resource competition back
to the Unit Question- What wouldn’t you do for a million/billion dollars through a
supporting question exercise of First Contact.

Context (lesson’s relation to unit as a whole, students’ prior knowledge important for this
lesson, class/student characteristics):
So far the class has reviewed the context and reasoning for European Exploration in
depth and hasn’t struggled with critical concepts. However, as we introduce the idea of
the Columbian Exchange, the term “exchange” takes on a new importance. The story of
European expansion was two sided. Throughout this lesson we will introduce First
Contact experiences and cultural interchange, which I expect students will be unfamiliar
with.
To counter this unfamiliarity I will scaffold questions and provide clear first person
primary resources to make the source material relatable to students.
Given the ELL needs of the classroom in addition to 3 student’s recurring distractions of
talking during class, grouping of the students in activities requires careful consideration
to maintain class focus.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes, and copying the daily Board

5
minutes
Students will copy down Board Sentence of the day and open their notes.
“As European Explorers discovered new lands they established Colonies
in the areas that they conquered. In a Mercantilist system, these
Colonies supplied raw materials, and provided markets for the
manufactured goods of European Countries. This exchange of plants,
animals, and disease between the New and Old Worlds is known as The
Columbian Exchange.”

Hernando Pizarro on the Incas
When we were half-way, messengers arrived from Atahualpa and brought
provisions to the Governor. They said that Atahualpa was waiting for him at
Cajamarca, wishing to be his friend; and that he wished the Governor to know that
his captains had taken his brother prisoner, that they would reach Cajamarca within
two days, and that all the territory of his father now belonged to him. The
Governor sent back to say that he rejoiced greatly at this news…
That night a good lookout was kept. In the morning he sent messengers to put off
his visit until the afternoon; and these messengers, in conversing with some Indian
girls in the service of the Christians, who were their relations, told them to run
away because Atahualpa was coming that afternoon to attack the Christians and
kill them. Among the messengers there came that captain who had already met the
Governor on the road. He told the Governor that his lord Atahualpa said that, as the
Christians had come armed to his camp, he also would come armed. The Governor
replied that he might come as he liked. Atahualpa set out from his camp at noon,
and when he came to a place which was about half a quarter of a league from
Cajamarca he stopped until late in the afternoon. There he pitched his tents, and
formed his men in three divisions. The whole road was full of men, and they had
not yet left off marching out of the camp…
The Governor had ordered his troops to be distributed in the three halls which were
in the open court-yard, in form of a triangle; and he ordered them to be mounted
and armed until the intentions of Atahualpa were known… The Governor sent a
Christian, and presently Atahualpa moved, leaving the armed men behind him. He
took with him about five or six thousand Indians without arms, except that, under
their shirts, they had small darts and slings with stones…
He came in a litter, and before him went three or four hundred Indians in liveries,
cleaning the straws from the road and singing... The friar then told Atahualpa that
he was a priest, and that he was sent there to teach the things of the faith if they
should desire to be Christians. He showed Atahualpa a book which he carried in
his hands, and told him that that book contained the things of God. Atahualpa
asked for the book, and threw it on the ground, saying: "I will not leave this place
until you have restored all that you have taken in my land. I know well who you
are and what you have come for." Then he rose up in his litter and addressed his
men, and there were murmurs among them and calls to those who were armed. The
![Page 62: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
friar went to the Governor and reported what was being done and that no time was
to be lost. The Governor sent to me; and I had arranged with the captain of the
artillery that, when a sign was given, he should discharge his pieces, and that, on
hearing the reports, all the troops should come forth at once. This was done, and as
the Indians were unarmed they were defeated without danger to any Christian.
Those who carried the litter and the chiefs who surrounded Atahualpa were all
killed, falling round him. The Governor came out and seized Atahualpa…
After returning to Cajamarca and reporting my proceedings to the Governor, he
ordered me to go to Spain and to give an account to his majesty of this and other
things which appertain to his service. I took, from the heap of gold, one hundred
thousand castellanos for his majesty, being the amount of his fifth. The day after I
left Cajamarca, the Christians, who had gone to Cuzco, returned, and brought one
million five hundred thousand of gold. After I arrived at Panama, another ship
came in, with some knights. They say that a distribution of the gold was made; and
that the share of his majesty, besides the one hundred thousand pesos and the five
thousand marcos of silver that I bring, was another one hundred sixty-five
thousand castellanos and seven thousand or eight thousand marcos of silver; while
to all those of us who had gone, a further share of gold was sent.

- Diary of a Voyage Exercise Worksheet
Context (lesson’s relation to unit as a whole, students’ prior knowledge important for this
lesson, class/student characteristics):
As a class we have reviewed the economic relationship between colonies and their
mother countries in the Columbian Exchange. The students know that certain goods and
services flowed each way between the “Old” and “New” Worlds. In this lesson we
expand upon this topic by introducing the African Slave Trade into the mix, and the
resultant creation of the Triangular Trade.
However, while my students will be familiar with the concept of slavery I want to
introduce them to the reality that the slave trade was in several instances, a mutual system
with African Governments selling slaves and participating in the New World Economy.
I anticipate some issues with students understanding the full brutality of the Middle
Passage so I want to allot students the option to creatively consider and relay a first
person perspective of the experience in either a visual or narrative format.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes and copying the daily Board
Sentence.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,

KWL chart on a by volunteer basis.
20
minutes
- I will hand out the Power Point Worksheet
- I will present the Power Point for 15 minutes while asking questions
including: having students come to the front to track specific examples
of which directions certain goods would go (ex: show me where rum
would be made, where it would go with your finger on the map), and
asking students what they ate for dinner last night- tracking the various
ingredients of their meals to New/Old World origins.
- Students will fill out the worksheet during the presentation.
- I will review the triangular trade in whole on the last slide for 5
minutes and answer any questions.

England to the class, I will solicit students to read paragraph by
paragraph on a voluntary basis.
10
minutes
- I will lead a class discussion on the reviewed material, including a
paragraph by paragraph breakdown of the Letter to the Queen and the
questions: What stands out to you about this illustration of the British
Slave Ship? What stood out to Olaudah about his experience in the
Middle Passage? What do we think Olaudah means by “Wretched
Africans” in the 5th paragraph of his letter?

Olaudah Equiano- Audio Excerpts
Capture
One day, when all our people were gone out to their
works as usual, and only I and my dear sister were left to
mind the house, two men and a woman got over our
walls, and in a moment seized us both. My sister and I
were separated and I ended up in the hands of a slave
dealer who supplied the Atlantic slave ships. Six months
later I found myself on board a slave ship.
The Middle Passage
The closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate,
added to the number in the ship, which was so crowded
that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost
suffocated us. The air soon became unfit for breathing,
from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a
sickness among the slaves, of which many died. This
wretched situation was made worse by the chains. The
shrieks of women, and the groaning of the dying, created
a scene of horror almost unbelievable. Three desperate
slaves tried to kill themselves by jumping overboard. Two
drowned, the other was captured and beaten unmercifully.
When I refused to eat, I too was beaten.

Arrival in the West Indies
When we arrived in Barbados (in the West Indies) many
merchants and planters came on board and examined us.
We were then taken to the merchant’s yard, where we
were all pent up together like sheep in a fold. On a signal
the buyers rushed forward and chose those slaves they
liked best.

A Letter From Olaudah Equiano to the Queen (1788)
To the Queens's most Excellent Majesty.
Madam,
Your Majesty's well known benevolence and humanity emboldens me to approach your royal
presence, trusting that the obscurity of my situation will not prevent your Majesty from attending
to the sufferings for which I plead.
Yet I do not solicit your royal pity for my own distress; my sufferings, although numerous, are in
a measure forgotten. I supplicate your Majesty's compassion for millions of my African
countrymen, who groan under the lash of tyranny in the West Indies.
The oppression and cruelty exercised to (my) unhappy (brothers) there, have at length reached
the British legislature, and they are now deliberating on its redress; even several persons of
property in slaves in the West Indies, have petitioned parliament against its continuance, sensible
that it is as impolitic as it is unjust--and what is inhuman must ever be unwise.
Your Majesty's reign has been hitherto distinguished by private acts of benevolence and bounty;
surely the more extended the misery is, the greater claim it has to your Majesty's compassion,
and the greater must be your Majesty's pleasure in administering to its relief.
I presume, therefore, gracious Queen, to implore your interposition with your royal consort, in
favour of the wretched Africans; that, by your Majesty's benevolent influence, a period may now
be put to their misery; and that they may be raised from the condition of brutes, to which they are
at present degraded, to the rights and situation of freemen, and admitted to partake of the
blessings of your Majesty's happy government; so shall your Majesty enjoy the heartfelt pleasure
of procuring happiness to millions, and be rewarded in the grateful prayers of themselves, and of
their posterity.

And may the all-bountiful Creator shower on your Majesty, and the Royal Family, every blessing
that this world can afford, and every fulness of joy which divine revelation has promised us in
the next.
I am your Majesty's most dutiful and devoted servant to command,
Gustavus Vassa,
The Oppressed Ethiopean.

Context (lesson’s relation to unit as a whole, students’ prior knowledge important for this
lesson, class/student characteristics):
We have just completed the Triangular Trade and Middle Passage unit. Students now
know the role and importance of Colonies to European powers in the 16th and 17th
centuries.
Now I will introduce the notion of Imperialism to the students, and the impending arms
race which was acquiring as many colonies, as fast as possible, and exploiting them to the
highest degree possible to profit.
I expect the class to comprehend today’s concepts fairly easily as the topic of colonies
isn’t new. However, the full degree to which European Powers utilized (or exploited)
their colonies will be a point of emphasis here.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Spend 5 minutes opening their binder to the day’s notes and copying the daily Board
Sentence.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
Time Instructional Activity
5
minutes
Students will copy down Board Sentence of the day and open their notes.
- “As European nations continued to establish colonies abroad, European
governments and economic structures became more organized and
regimented as a result of their expanding influence and incoming
wealth. The resulting era is referred to as Imperialism, in which
centralized European states competed ferociously to gain as many
colonies, and as much wealth, as possible.”
10
minutes
The Boston Tea Party Exercise (Hook)
- Pass around a single tea bag, ask students to estimate the value of the
single tea bag in today’s dollars to Europeans in 1774. (answer:
approximately $1.20).
- Ask how much students think a pound of tea might be worth ($18.50)
- Ask how many pounds of tea a single freighter might carry for an
English Vessel returning from India? (500 chests each, 150,000 Lbs)
- Ask what they think that is worth in today’s money? (150,000 x 18.50 =
2,775,000)
![Page 85: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
- Give a student a bag filled with 2,775,000 in banded monopoly money.
Ask him to pass it around the room.
- Allude that this is the story of the Boston Tea Party in 1774, and these
statistics, cover the value of the tea lost in the harbor (342 chests, 92,000
lbs, $1,700,000 lost revenue).
- With that you could buy today: 1,428,571 Taco Bell Tacos.
- Use this introduction to allude to students that with these prices, global
economy was a high stakes game with serious consequences for
European powers. This was a big deal- tea was a big deal.
20
minutes
- Students will read and complete the British India Policy Worksheet in
pre-determined pairs.
- I will walk amongst the groups to maintain class focus and make sure
that partners are contributing equally to the research process.
50
minutes
- Students will play the review game Trashketball with the teacher.
- Instructions on game sheet. I will separate the students into 2 group
teams by each side of the room (split down the middle) to compete on a
points based system for extra credit on the Unit Exam- 5 points for the
winning group.
- The game is a rapid fire response, a team who cannot answer a question
in 30 seconds passes the question to the other team.
- Questions that have no correct answers after 2 tries are discussed in
class and marked by the teacher for review before the unit exam.
5
minutes
- I will re-pose the questions which were not correctly answered to the
class and solicit volunteer answers.
- If the questions are still unanswered, additional note of the questions
will be taken for review before the Unit Exam.
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
British India Policy Worksheet with heterogenous pairing by ability and disciplinary
record will enable students to collaborate in primary source research. Trashketball review
game is an oral review activity and will serve as a non-written review format for students
uncomfortable with pre-tests or writing assignments.
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
When class ends, students will…
Turn in their British Policy in India Worksheets to me as they file out of the classroom.

- All accommodations necessary
will be given to IEP Test takers
and ELL students, including
alternative assignments.
Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…
Tomorrow’s lesson continues on the topic of Imperialism, focusing on the British Empire
specifically and introduces the rise of capitalism and global markets. The aggression of
European foreign policy today is a recurring theme which will surface again in the next 2
lessons.

British Colonial India
"England's Account with India" (From the letter of a Native Hindu) "'Great Britain owe(s) a debt
to the Indian peasant, a debt of millions upon millions.' We know that India annually remits to
England a sum estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 for home charges, pensions, interest and
the like. We know that the people of India are virtually debarred from the highest posts in India,
except a very small percentage, and that 15,000,000 are annually paid to European officials
employed in India and sending all their savings to Europe. We know that our ancient industries,
like weaving and spinning and dyeing, have been killed by European competition, and that the
land is so heavily taxed in so many provinces that the peasant cannot save in good years for years
of bad harvest.
We know that an army is kept in India, and paid for by India, sufficient for England's imperial
requirements over the best parts of Africa and Asia. We know that our finances are adjusted by
executive councils in India and Great Britain, in which the people of India have no seat and that
in the taxation of India we have no voice. These are some of the burdens we bear in India, and
these are some of the causes of famine from which we periodically suffer.
Will Englishmen add to them the burden of paying for British forts and armies, British
establishments, and wars in various parts of Africa and Asia “from the Suez Canal to
Mozambique, from the Tigris to the Malay Peninsula?” Will the English conscience reconcile
itself to thus proceeding in a year when 90,000,000 of people are affected by the worst famine
that India has ever known, and 5,000,000 are actually attending relief centers? Is there no
statesmen in England at the present day who will give us a new India bill, moderating land tax,
reducing expenditure, opening up the higher services to the people of India, and giving them
some control over their finances? Is there no Englishman of this generation who will stand up for
justice to India?
Please answer the following questions from the reading above:
1. What other British Colonies (Besides India) does the author mention in this article? What
continents are these countries located in?

Unit Board Sentence Test to measure students’ knowledge of the concepts covered and
NCES curriculum, as well as preparing the students for their final project which will be
an in class mock trial of Christopher Columbus to help students to research a particular
aspect of Exploration interesting to themselves and apply their knowledge in the
authentic context of a courtroom.

When students enter my class, they will…
Open their Board Sentence notes and pick 2 sentences they either do not remember
completely, or do not understand and would like the teacher to review.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
Time Instructional Activity
10
minutes
- The white board will have directions written upon it when students enter
the classroom: “Please sit down and spend 5 minutes picking out 2
![Page 94: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
board sentences from this Unit or Semester you would like to review
before our Board Test Today.”
- The students will come in and spend 5 minutes reviewing their board
sentences from this semester as a whole, and select 2 sentences they
would like to cover in an in class review.
- Students will pair with their neighbor and review their 4 sentences
together for 5 minutes in an effort to teach each other the review
terminology.
30
minutes
- I will lead an in class oral review of the Board Sentence Terminology of
the Unit.
- I will begin with volunteers from the class on sentences they are still
unclear of, or forgot the meaning of, after the partner review.
- If we are short on volunteers I will turn to my recorded sheet from last
lesson’s Trashketball Review Game and review all the questions the
class got wrong twice in a row.
- If we are still short on time during the 30 minutes, I will lead an oral
review on all 6 of the current Units Board Sentences and their terms
with the class myself with Socratic questioning- soliciting verbal
feedback on a voluntary basis from the class for each critical board
sentence term.
50
minutes
- Before we head to the computer lab, for 5 minutes I will review the
Mock Trial instructions with students and separate them into pre-
arranged groups of 4-5 based on ability and disciplinary record. Each
group will be assigned one of 3 historical characters they will questions
through the trial.
- At the computer lab I will hand out the Research Instructions and work
on a by group basis to assist students in conducting their research.
- The goal of this 50 minutes is to have picked out the one document
students will present as a group as evidence, and begin writing down the
4-5 questions the group will ask each historical character (me).
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
- Heterogeneous grouping by ability and the variety of roles within the mock trial
research (researcher, note taker, evidence preparation) allow for students
comfortable with different learning styles to fit into the role most comfortable to
them.
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
![Page 95: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c.

When class ends, students will…
Exit the classroom and turn in their printed document they plan to present tomorrow to
me as they exit the computer lab. I will remind them that we will be meeting in the
Computer Lab tomorrow.
Assessment (How will you know students achieved the objectives?)
Formative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- Printed evidence document
illustrates mock trial progress and
group preparation for tomorrow.
- Heterogeneous pairing by ability
and disciplinary record ensures a
balanced grouping of students with
a variety of roles to play.
Summative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- End of Unit Test will cover the
terminology from the Unit’s Board
Sentences, and NCES.
- All accommodations necessary will
be given to IEP Test takers and
ELL students, including alternative
assignments.
Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…

Tomorrow’s class will be a continuation of today’s research and serve as both a final prep
for, and acting of, Columbus’ trial in the Spanish Court for his conduct during the first
contact voyage in the Bahamas in 1492.
![Page 97: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c.

Lucaya Vs. Columbus Mock Trial
Instructions:
The year is 1515, the Chief of the Lucaya people of the Bahamas has travelled to Spain with
Father Lucerno- a concerned Catholic priest who was aboard the same ship that made first
contact with the natives in 1492.
The Chief of the Lucaya has filed a lawsuit against Christopher Columbus in the Spanish court.
The charges are that Columbus and his crew committed crimes against humanity and fellow
Christians, in his treatment of his people and seizing them as slaves.
In groups of 4, each of you will work as an attorney either prosecuting Columbus for his crimes
against the Lucaya, or defending Columbus’ actions. Today and tomorrow we will spend time
researching one piece of evidence you will present to the court, and question a witness about.
Remember, your job as an attorney is to present your piece of evidence to the Jury to convince
them that Columbus is either innocent or guilty. Your questions can, and should, feel unfair or
make the witness uncomfortable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the grouping chart, and the historical figure you will be questioning in court. In the
computer lab please sit with your group around a single computer in preparation for today’s legal
research.

Some Suggestions to get started:
For Witnesses Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus:
- The 3 G’s we reviewed in class- God, Gold, and Glory.
- The letter from Queen Isabella to Christopher Columbus we read in class.
- Columbus’ personal letter to the Queen Isabella we read in class.
For Witness Chief Lucaya:
- Remember Columbus’ personal letter to the Queen Isabella we read in class.
- Remember the Spanish Requerimiento de 1513, 1514, 1515 we read in class.
- Remember the pictures of the slave ships and slave trade we viewed in class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some Tips and Pointers:
Remember, your goal is to make Christopher Columbus look Good if you are the Defense, or
Evil if you are the prosecution.
Your questions can be unfair and can make the witness feel uncomfortable. At least one of your
questions must address the evidence you intend to present to the court.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inventory List:
- 6 printed copies of your group’s evidence.
- 4 printed copies of your group’s questions.
![Page 100: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
An Example of Evidence and 4 questions:
For the Defense to Witness Christopher Columbus
1. Christopher – Why do you think these people did not respond to your presenting the Holy
Bible and the Word of our God to them?
2. Christopher – Why did you enslave the Lucaya people when you first met them in the
New World?
3. Christopher – Do you think that the way you treated Chief Lucaya and his people is fair
since we Spaniards punish our own Vassals who disobey their Lord the same way in
Spain?
4. Christopher – Do you believe that the Lucaya people are subject to the Holy Church and
Spain’s laws?
Requerimiento, 1514
If you do not do this, however, or resort maliciously to delay, we warn you that, with the aid of God, we will
enter your land against you with force and will make war in every place and by every means we can and are
able, and we will then subject you to the yoke and authority of the Church and Their Highnesses. We will
take you and your wives and children and make them slaves, and as such we will sell them, and will dispose
of you and them as Their Highnesses order. And we will take your property and will do to you all the harm
and evil we can, as is done to vassals who will not obey their lord or who do not wish to accept him, or who
resist and defy him. We avow that the deaths and harm which you will receive thereby will be your own
blame, and not that of Their Highnesses, nor ours, nor of the gentlemen who come with us.

TSWBAT:
- Develop an authentic legal evidentiary presentation in prosecution or defense of
Christopher Columbus’ first contact in the New World.
- Perform an authentic courtroom questioning as a 16th century attorney.
North Carolina Essential Standards:
- WH.H.4.1: Explain how interest in classical learning and religious reform
contributed to increased global interaction (e.g., Renaissance, Protestant
Reformation, Catholic Reformation, printing revolution, etc.).

between nations in Europe, Southwest Asia, the Americas and Africa (e.g.,
exploration, mercantilism, inflation, rise of capitalism, etc.).
- WH.H.5.1: Explain how and why the motivations for exploration and conquest
resulted in increased global interactions, differing patterns of trade, colonization,
and conflict among nations (e.g., religious and political motives, adventure,
economic investment, Columbian exchange, commercial revolution, conquistador
destruction of Aztec and Incan civilizations, Triangular Trade, Middle Passage,
trading outposts, plantation colonies, rise of capitalism, etc.).

technological innovations and advances, forces that allowed the acquisition of
colonial possessions and trading privileges in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the
Colombian exchange).
- WH.H.5.3: Analyze colonization in terms of the desire for access to resources

Context (lesson’s relation to unit as a whole, students’ prior knowledge important for this
lesson, class/student characteristics):
This lesson is a continuation of the research students began as groups yesterday in the
computer lab. Students should be familiar with the story of Christopher Columbus and
the Lucaya people as we covered it in a previous lesson this unit, but several primer
research directions will be provided in the instructions to assist students in their research
if needs be.
Previous disciplinary record of several students has resulted in strategic placemen of
groups and will require teacher attention on a by-group basis during the research exercise
to keep students on task.
Initiatory Activity (aka Bell Ringer, Do-Now, Anticipatory Set)
When students enter my class, they will…
Sit down while I take attendance, then head with me immediately to the computer lab.
Strategies (What methods are you going to use to teach? Please include a detailed description,
step-by-step in numerical order, of the instructional approaches/teaching strategies that you will
use. What will you and the students be doing in this lesson? How long will each activity take?)
![Page 104: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Time Instructional Activity
5
minutes
- We will be meeting in the computer lab today.
- I will take attendance and assist the students in powering up and logging
into their computers in the computer lab.
25
minutes
- I will continue to work with students on a by-group basis to continue
their research if needs be, and to develop and print the one question each
member plans to ask the witness (me) before the trial.
- At ten minutes in the groups must have a piece of evidence printed and
approved by myself.
- At 20 minutes in the groups must have a question written down for each
member, and printed and approved by myself.
- We will spend the last 5 minutes cleaning the lab, shutting down
computers, and heading back to class.
15
minutes
- I will organize the students in the classroom in their groups, and
orchestrate a brief practice run of the full trial.
- Students will not ask questions or present, this is literally to just have
students go through the physical motions of the trial.
- Once we have mastered questioning/cross examining we will begin the
trial.
45
minutes
- Students will perform the Mock Trial live time, with myself as the
witness and holding a grading rubric for each team and marking
performance as we progress through.
- I have previously asked 3 parents to come in as live jurors and received
an RSVP from all 3. If they come they will sit in the class as jurors and
decide after the trial the verdict.
- If the parents do not come I will render a verdict myself.
- I will be performing as the 3 witnesses myself and provide authentic
answers to the students’ questions as best I can to truthfully represent
16th century ideology and world knowledge.
- I will also keep the court session moving along and provide the
instructions to students that they need to keep moving and on task.
Instructional Activities with accommodations for English Language Learners and
Exceptional Children…
Heterogeneous grouping by ability and the variety of roles within the mock trial research
(researcher, note taker, evidence preparation) allow for students comfortable with
different learning styles to fit into the role most comfortable to them.
![Page 105: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Ending of class (How will you conclude class?)
When class ends, students will…
Spend 5 minutes cleaning the room and placing the desks back into standard alignment
before leaving.
Assessment (How will you know students achieved the objectives?)
Formative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- Student participation and
performance on a group and
individual level will be recorded in
the Mock trial Rubric.
- Heterogeneous pairing by ability
and disciplinary record ensures a
balanced grouping of students with
a variety of roles to play.
Summative Accommodations for ELL and
Exceptional Children
- End of Unit Test will cover the
terminology from the Unit’s Board
Sentences, and NCES.
- All accommodations necessary will
be given to IEP Test takers and
ELL students, including alternative
assignments.
Alternate strategies for re-teaching material for students who did not achieve
mastery…
In addition to the Board Quiz and Unit Test, students will be given the opportunity to
come in for after school tutoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Upon receiving a corrected Quiz or Test, students will have the opportunity to correct
their own mistakes in 15 minutes in class with a partner (mistakes are not specifically
marked on tests, only a final score at the top). If +70% of mistakes are highlighted to the
teacher, student can come in during after school tutoring hours to retake each Quiz or
Test once.
Transition (How will this relate to the next day’s lesson?)
This relates to tomorrow…
This lesson serves as a wrap up to this unit and provides the final summative assessment
for myself that students were able to perform an authentic evaluation of 15th and 16th
![Page 106: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
century ideology surrounding the Explorer’s Era. If students could present both sides of
the Nativist and European perspective on the clashes between Explorers, Natives and
Christianity then the spirit of the Unit Question “What wouldn’t you do for a million
dollars” has been largely answered.
For some students the answer is likely moral and they believe they wouldn’t have
committed the same crimes Columbus did. For others, the defense of Columbus might
help students to understand how Europeans justified enslaving other peoples as they met
them in the New World.

Some Suggestions to get started:
For Witnesses Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus:
- The 3 G’s we reviewed in class- God, Gold, and Glory.
- The letter from Queen Isabella to Christopher Columbus we read in class.
- Columbus’ personal letter to the Queen Isabella we read in class.
For Witness Chief Lucaya:
- Remember Columbus’ personal letter to the Queen Isabella we read in class.
- Remember the Spanish Requerimiento de 1513, 1514, 1515 we read in class.
- Remember the pictures of the slave ships and slave trade we viewed in class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some Tips and Pointers:
Remember, your goal is to make Christopher Columbus look Good if you are the Defense, or
Evil if you are the prosecution.
Your questions can be unfair and can make the witness feel uncomfortable. At least one of your
questions must address the evidence you intend to present to the court.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inventory List:
- 6 printed copies of your group’s evidence.
- 4 printed copies of your group’s questions.
![Page 109: World History Unit- Exploration, Interaction, and the New ... · c. Columbus’ blessing from the Spanish King and hopes of Glory ... conquistador destruction of Aztec and Incan ...](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051802/5af3c0d97f8b9a154c8d575e/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
An Example of Evidence and 4 questions:
For the Defense to Witness Christopher Columbus
5. Christopher – Why do you think these people did not respond to your presenting the Holy
Bible and the Word of our God to them?
6. Christopher – Why did you enslave the Lucaya people when you first met them in the
New World?
7. Christopher – Do you think that the way you treated Chief Lucaya and his people is fair
since we Spaniards punish our own Vassals who disobey their Lord the same way in
Spain?
8. Christopher – Do you believe that the Lucaya people are subject to the Holy Church and
Spain’s laws?
Requerimiento, 1514
If you do not do this, however, or resort maliciously to delay, we warn you that, with the aid of God, we will
enter your land against you with force and will make war in every place and by every means we can and are
able, and we will then subject you to the yoke and authority of the Church and Their Highnesses. We will
take you and your wives and children and make them slaves, and as such we will sell them, and will dispose
of you and them as Their Highnesses order. And we will take your property and will do to you all the harm
and evil we can, as is done to vassals who will not obey their lord or who do not wish to accept him, or who
resist and defy him. We avow that the deaths and harm which you will receive thereby will be your own
blame, and not that of Their Highnesses, nor ours, nor of the gentlemen who come with us.
