Homework this Week Homework this Week: 1. Apply the Motives for Imperializing to India or China. Write two specific examples for each motive. (Due Wednesday) 2. Explain how Imperialism benefitted the people of the Imperial Power. Now explain how Imperialism affected the people in the place being colonized. This could be a paragraph or so for each country, or you could write a dialogue between a colonizer and a person in the area being colonized. Make sure to include your understanding of how their experience was different! (Post to Moodle by Friday).

Icebreaker- Finger Grab Participants stand in a circle, arms out to the side. Left hand palm up, right index finger pointing down and touching on neighbor's outstretched palm.

Room Arrangement Room Arrangement Activity In groups of 5 (your row) meet at one of the desks in the back of the room. Follow the rules on the handout. 1)
9
Land (desk) Grab Debrief How did you feel during the activity? Why did you compete with the other groups to claim the furniture? Do you think this was a fair way to claim territory? Is there a better way? If there is leftover land, who should get it?
10
How was the desk activity like European Imperialism? The students (European powers) become caught up in a competitive race to claim pieces of furniture (African Territory). The students (colonial powers) used flags (national flags) to stake their claim. The students (colonial powers) claimed furniture (colonies) without knowing exactly how it would benefit them. One group of students (Britain) had had an advantage (head start) and other students (other colonial countries) resented them. The students discussed fairness issues about ways to divide furniture- like the Berlin Conference of 1885)
