*If you are having trouble with the download, email me at lmaneevone@guhsd.net by June 3 or leonieca@yahoo.com by June 20 and I will send you an attachment.  I will be out of town for most of the summer, so do this as soon as possible. Another idea: if you know ohters taking this class, have them print you one.

You must type all key terms for the summer, submit them to turnitin (we will make account when school starts) and always bring a hard copy on the day they are due.  This means you MUST SAVE your work, if not, you will be retyping them.

TURN IT IN CLASSES ARE NOT SET UP YET. SAVE YOUR WORK AND WE WILL TURN IT IN IN THE FALL.

Introductory Assignment Key Terms:
I strongly suggest that you type out key terms in a list and fill them in as you read.  If you try and go back and find them at the end, you will not be a happy camper.  Or, do it at the end of each section. 
You need: definition (if necessary) and importance (absolutely necessary), along with the page number you found the information on.  For example: Amerigo Vespucci- the definition and importance are the same thing, generally the case for important people.  Mercantilism would require both a definition (what is is) and an importance (why it was significant), generally the case for concepts.  In addition, some importance is inferred (not written out blatantly or bolded), and is not always on the same page as the definition or when it is mentioned in the text.  You might need to look at sources outside of the book as well. Be resourceful! You must type your key terms for the summer assignment and submit them to turnitin.com.  Do not run terms together.  Number each key term and start each on a new line.  EVERYTHING MUST ALWAYS BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  DO NOT CUT AND PASTE FROM DICTIONARY.COM OR THE TEXTBOOK OR FROM YOUR FRIEND.  THIS WILL RESULT IN NO CREDIT.  PARAPHRASING IS FINE.  THIS IS ALSO WHY YOU MUST SUBMIT ALL WORK TO TURNITIN. SOMEONE ALWAYS GETS CAUGHT EVERY YEAR, DON'T LET IT BE YOU!

You must include the following:
1. What is is/Who they are/definition (if necessary)
2. Historical significance (always necessary)
3. pg number for reference (always necessary) if you find it somewhere other than the textbook, reference your source.

*Note: Terms are separated by commas.  /'s go together as the same term*

Some of these terms come up in multiple chapters, just add to the terms with additional context and pg. numbers.  Some (most) are not bold, bummer. You still have to find them.  Some do not have the definition and significance spelled out for you.  You need to figure it out.  There may even be a few terms that you have to find elsewhere.  Site the source.  The / designates different components of or names for the same term and not two terms. There are 50 terms total.

This is an overview, the detailed instructions are found in the document above you can download.
Notes: You have the option of using either cornell notes or outlining.  You must include a prediction at the start of your notes and a conclusion at the end.  As the semester progresses, you will have more note taking options.  Remember to filter out important information and do not write down everything; focus on cause and effect.  Notes mst be handwritten and legible.

Guiding questions for each chapter: You do not have to answer these on paper, but these are to help you determine the important information in each chapter.
1. How did Native American peoples structure their societies?  Why did each society develop different economic, social and political systems? What were the main characteristics of traditional European society?  How did the European Renaissance and Reformation affect the organization of American society? Why di European nations pursue overseas exploration and colonization?  Why do historians describe the contact between between Europeans and Native Americans as the "Columbian Exchange"?  How did the Spanish invasion of the New World affect the lives of peoples in the Americas, Europe and Africa?

2. What goals did the Spanish, French, Dutch, and English pursue in North America?  How did these ambitions lead to settlement patterns?  How did the European settlements of North America affect Native American populations over time?  How and why did a system of forced labor based on the factors of class and race emerge in the Chesapeake and Virginia colonies in the early 17th century? What were the economic, religious, political and intellectual foundations of Puritan society in New England?  How did colonial society in the Chesapeake region differ from that of New England  How did the conflicts of the 1670s affect social, economic, and political relations among the colonists, Indians and Africans in America?

3. How and why did Europeans bring Africans to the American colonies as slaves? How did African American communities in America respond to and resist their condition?  What was the structure of colonial government?  How did it operate? Why did Englishmen and colonial citizens view the roles of assemblies differently? What was the role of the colonies within the British mercantilist system?  How did economic considerations affect political decision making in both England and North America?
