Bell Work: PREVIEW Group Work – Claiming Land

Vocabulary- Motive, Exploration, Rivalry,

TEACHER NOTES

Step 1.

This preview is designed to introduce students to the rivalry that developed among European nations competing for land and wealth.

Step 2.

Before class, create 4 stacks of sticky notes. The first stack with 30 notes. The second with 8 sticky notes. The third with 7 sticky notes. The fourth pile with 1 sticky note.

Step 3.

As students enter the classroom, place them in groups of five and have each group sit around a desk. Tell groups you would like each to submit a proposal for a new class configuration. PASS OUT student

handout 2A: Planning a New Classroom Arrangement to ONE of the groups. THEN pass out Student

Handout 2B Planning a New Classroom Arrangement to the REST of the groups. DO NOT LET THE GROUPS KNOW THEY ARE RECEIVING DIFFERENT HANDOUTS. Step 4.

Allow groups to claim furniture. Expect the group with Handout 2A- which directs them to quickly choose a name and draw their classroom map – will start to claim furniture first, similar to Spain’s first claim to territory in the Americas. Hand this group the first pad of sticky notes and allow them to claim 30 pieces of classroom furniture, similar to Spain claiming the greatest amount of territory in the Americas. Make sure they proclaim “I CLAIM THIS PIECE OF

FURNITURE IN THE NAME OF (GROUP’S NAME) EACH TIME WITH SHOULD ENCOURAGE COMPETITION BETWEEN THE GROUPS.

As other groups begin to notice the first group, they should want to claim some of the furniture, just as France, England and the Netherlands wanted to claim other parts of the Americas. When the second, third and fourth groups approach you, hand them the sticky notes from the corresponding stacks to represent the smaller claims that the French, English and Dutch were able to establish in the Americas. Allow students to claim furniture until they have used all of the sticky notes. Expect some groups to be frustrated that they were not able to claim furniture.

Step 5.

Debrief the Preview Activity. Hold class discussion centered on these questions.

COMPREHENSION CHECK

should be things that they could actually touch if they were able to step into the scene. 5. Afterward, encourage students to interpret the “evidence” they have gathered.6. For example, a student who placed a sticky note on a crucifix in the image might say that

she believes this is evidence that Christianity was practiced in the community.
