Caribbean Colonization

Day 1:

Your group will start by doing  research on how colonization started, why it started, and also what Caribbean countries had what settlers (British, Spanish, French...). Follow the links for more information.  ***Don't forget to take proper notes on the provided websites!

I have attached some links that might be useful.  These links are just to get you started, you must find adequate information by yourself. ( books, journals, websites)

- Where did Colonization originate?

- What was the purpose or reason of Colonization?

- What kinds of crops did colonists grow?

- Is there another way countries could have benefitted from crops other than colonization?

What were the pros and cons of colonization?

I have started you with five questions, you must come up with 5 more questions to gather the proper information about slavery in the mid 1800s.

Day 2:

- Find alternative to colonization or find a way to make it beneficial and fair for everyone.

    a.  In what part of the Caribbean country or island would you begin your plan (use this map to assist you).

    b.  Why would you begin trying to change or stop colonization in this particular part of the country?

    c.  Why did you choose this plan, and how long will this plan take to be effective?

- Combine your own questions and research together with your group members.

- Now that you have your research complete come up with a presentation plan.
