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?

  • This is such a fantastic activity Thank you for sharing it. I’m definitely going to incorporate it into my teaching—not just for its pedagogical value, but also because I love how you’ve broken down the reading into manageable skills, allowing students to focus on one step at a time.

    I teach Big History, so I wasn’t aware of this article. I just saved it for my next unit on Expansion and Interconnection—perfect timing!

    A couple of quick questions:

    • What grade level are your students?
    • Do they usually take the full 90 minutes to complete the activity? I may not have that much class time, so I’m thinking of assigning the reading for homework and then working through the activities in class.

    One last thing—the quiz isn’t shareable. Would you be open to sharing it? Thanks again!

    My students are 9th graders of varying skill levels so not all of them take the full 90 minutes--some could have finished in one period. My students aren't "homework doers" so we worked in class but it was self-guided enough that it could totally be worked on outside of the classroom with relative ease.

    I think I fixed the quiz! The new "Publish" button keeps throwing me off.
