Origins of Transoceanic Connections and Connections to Capitalism Lesson Resources

ERIN CUNNINGHAM

I transformed the article Origins of Transoceanic Connections into a slide exploration and quiz that my students completed independently or with partners over 2 class periods (total of 90 min). I use these modifications to mix up the routine of three reads and my students respond well to these assignments. I have them check in their notes with me so I can do a brief check for understanding before sending them to the form.

How do other people mix it up with articles in their classrooms?

  • Oh I love this! Thank you for sharing this! One thing that I do sometimes is have kids in groups read a chunk of an article, and illustrate it on a little doodle paper and list the key points of their section. Then I'll have each group share so we can put together a whole class understanding of the text. When they share publicly this also gives me a chance to correct for misunderstandings of various parts of the article.
