BELLWORK block 1: “What is meant by the Americas BELLWORK block 1: “What is meant by the Americas?” (HOA textbook: pages 10-11) Why do the Americas seem like a homogenous region? How/why do countries within this region differ? Explain why History of the Americas is taught using a “case-study” approach? Why does the United States dominate any regional study of the Americas? Why is the study of Canada unique? Why are generalizations made about Canada – consider why it is seen as devoid of their own identity? (Reference “Dominant Neighbors” section) THINKER: Analyze the political cartoon on the bottom of page 10  What does this tell us about the discovery of America?

IB History TOK Links between history and TOK are crucial to IB. For homework tonight, you will respond to six discussion questions. Give these serious thought! Be ready to discuss next class!

6 Concepts of IB History: Group Requirements A clear, concise explanation of what that concept means (do NOT just read from the handout) Explain how that concept can be used to study history An example (either historical or modern) When studying that concept, what are some questions you may ask? (EX: causation – why did the U.S. pass this law? Perspective – how successful was this law?) A creative, entertaining, and easy-to-follow presentation (skit, poster, song, discussion, etc.)

Monroe Doctrine Partner Discussion Now that you’ve completed a comparative study of the Monroe Doctrine and it’s varying perspectives, I want you to make some conclusions! With a partner, discuss the following: In your opinion, what was the purpose of the Monroe Doctrine? Which country’s viewpoint of the Doctrine do you agree or sympathize with the most? Why?
