World History

We viewed the rest of episode 2 ("Conquest") of "Guns, Germs, & Steel" and the first 11 minutes of episode 2 ("Into the Tropics") while adding E.Q. notes and a few C.Q.s while completing the flow chart and also answering the following exit slip questions: 1. Name two specific ways that steel was an advantage to the Europeans.  2. Name two specific ways that guns were an advantage to the Europeans.  3. Give a specific, 2-part answer to explain why many Europeans in the Age of Exploration were resistant to some deadly diseases like smallpox.  4. Why were Europeans able to farm prosperously in South Africa?   (Videos are available on You Tube.)
