The Age of Exploration

Today we will be learning about the Age of Exploration. Particularly, about how Columbus and his men landed in the Americas and began trading with new continents. 

We have two learning goals today. 

1. You will be able to describe trade as it existed during the Medieval Period (7th grade history).

2. You will be able to analyze the impact of trade, particularly the development of the Columbian Exchange on the world during the Age of Exploration.  (Both positive and negative)
