DISCUSSION POST TOPIC
As you have read in this first chapter and the assigned primary sources and media this week, several worlds collided, each having a long history of their own that would affect the way they saw other cultures. As Columbus and others set off looking for wealth, glory and converts to God, what was the impact of European conquest on the population and environment of the New World? Explain your answer with specific examples from your assigned reading and media.
DISCUSSION RUBRIC
The initial post is substantial, addresses the prompt directly, provides examples to back up your opinion, and is well-referenced, if applicable. Your initial post should include examples from the readings or videos covered that week. Length is relative. Some students can answer briefly while others take up more words. Instead, focus on providing a well-thought-out post. Cite all textbook resources, content videos, and sources referenced in your posts. For full credit, all posts should cite one or more academic sources in Chicago Style. A detailed rubric is available below.
