West African Exploration

We started out the day by going over Vocab due today and checking to be sure everyone's interims were signed. There were a lot of notes.

First we went over the cooperation and conflict which occured between Native Americans and European Explorers. After the notes and lectures students drew a picture depicting an example of the cooperation.

We spent the second half of class on the European Exploration where Europe traded with the kingdoms of Mali, Songhai, and Ghana in West Africa with the major traded goods amongst them being salt, slaves, and gold. Students then completed a map exercise pointing out Portugal, Mali, Songhai, and Ghana.

There is a quiz on the West African Exploration notes tomorrow.

Unit 3 Test Thursday!
