Process and Formative Performance TaskThe formative performance task asks students to create an annotated map of the Columbian Exchange. After analyzing a series of primary and secondary source documents, they will select 5 items exchanged as part of the Columbian Exchange and place them on their map labeling where the item originated and where it went to. They will then annotate the item by making a claim about the positive and negative impact the item had on the hemisphere it arrived and provide one piece of evidence to support the claim. Annotations should move beyond simply, “Maize had a positive impact on Europe, Africa and China.” This is the first step in understanding the positive and negative consequences of global trade and will also serve as a bridge between the Columbian Exchange and Process: 1. Explain to students that prior to 1492 the global economy wasn’t all that global. It was confined to regional trade networks (for a quick review you can ask them which ones – Silk Road, Trans-Sahran, Gold-Salt, etc.). So what changed all of that? Students should respond with the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Explain to student that with the arrival of Columbus new goods were introduced to the New World and it opened up a trading network between the New World and the Old World called the Columbian Exchange. 2. Pass out copies of Documents A- F. Have students analyze the documents using the handout Analyzing Primary and Secondary Sources SOAPSTone Strategy - (Appendix A) Encourage students to highlight and mark up their documents. It is helpful if they have different colored highlighters when doing this to highlight the different elements of SOAPStone. Not all of the questions will be answered for each document, but this should provide a strong framework for analysis. 3. Following analysis of documents, a brief discussion on what the students learned from the documents. 4. Provide students with a copy of The Columbian Exchange Annotated Map Activity (Appendix B), go over directions and give them time to work. This can be done in pairs or on their own to demonstrate understanding of the content. Featured SourcesFeatured Source A: Map of the Columbian Exchange
