Due this week - 

Chapter 9 Section #5 (Wednesday Night)

Scramble for Africa Summary (2 questions at the end)

British Imperialism in India DBQ (select a role, answer the questions)

Chapter 9 Test scheduled for Thursday Feb 7th

Objective:

Students will be able to describe the rise of industrial economies and their link to imperialism and colonization ( e.g. the role played by national security and strategic advantage: moral issues raised by search for natural hegemony, Social Darwinism, and the missionary impulse; material issues such as land, resources, and technology)

Rationale:

The social and economic changes that affected the rest of the undeveloped world had their roots in many different motives. Students should be able to look at the various "reasons" and articulate their support of or disdain for,  each reason.

Evidence:

Being able to argue for (either) the benefits of Imperialism on the host country vs the benefits for the colonizing country will provide evidence that students are looking at issues from both sides.
