The Columbian Exchange
What did we do?
For this project we had partners. Each partnership was given one item from the Columbian Exchange to study and create a poster of. Some options were maiz(corn), uvas(grapes), cacao(cocoa), etc. My partner and I were given hule(rubber). The poster could either be made on the computer or hand made. My partner and I chose to make it on the computer. Another thing we were required to do was do a write-up. It had to answer the ten questions Rafael had given us and an additional two questions of our choice. Ten Questions: To where is the item native? How did its name originate? How was it used by its native peoples? When was it first exchanged? What did people think about it when first encountered? How did it spread throughout the world? Where is it most widely produced today? How is it used today? Additional Questions: How was synthetic rubber created? What did the columbians first use it for? |
