The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Long-Term Effects of Colonization:
Overview In this experience, students upload an image showing one lasting impact of colonization anywhere in the world. Then they examine the challenges faced by former colonies after gaining independence. Next they work in small groups to research and prepare an analysis of the lasting effects of colonization on one of ten countries. Finally, in an optional scene they read excerpts from Guns, Germs, and Steel and Things Fall Apart and then write a scene in which an individual from a colonizing expedition meets an indigenous group for the first time. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 3. Objective
By the end of the 1960s, most colonies in Asia and Africa had gained their independence, but the effects of decades of foreign rule and exploitation are still felt across these continents. In this experience you will learn about some of the long-term effects.
Objective
One long-term effect of the colonization of the United States by the British—
the fact that English is the most widely used language in the United States.
Upload an image that shows one lasting impact of colonization anywhere in the world. Write a caption explaining the connection.
Students may choose images that reflect religious practices, architecture, even driving on the left side of the road in former British colonies. They might choose images that reflect cultural diffusion more than colonization, such as style of dress or cuisine. It may not be possible for students to distinguish between colonization and cultural diffusion.
