Due to power outages and the huge wind storms, many people weren't ready to present today. A few people had their Industrialization projects ready and did a great job teaching the class. Students took notes on presentations. We then did an activity that mimicked the Colonial Powers' Scramble for Territory, by having groups make a name and flag for themselves and "claim" parts of the classroom. Many parallels were easy to see between what our class did in claiming items and furniture and structural features of the class, and what the Colonial Powers (mostly European countries) did in the mid 1800s.
After debriefing the activity, students began reading: Imperialism and Racism, with questions and tasks to help bring the material to life that will be due next class.
Homework: 1. Presentations, for those who haven't done theirs, yet.
2. Imperialism and Racism Reading, with Tasks I - III completed. (Task IV is extra credit).
