TOPIC 1: European Uses of Nature  

Instructions: Click on the link above to access the reading. You can choose one of the FOUR options for an AfL grade. This must be completed no later than 10:45, for you to earn time to work on your AOL. Today's participation will be graded for the LT and the HOW Participation.

Show me that you can differentiate between Native American and European uses of the environment.
Option 1: Venn Diagram
Option 2: T-Chart
In this Venn diagram, you must include at least 20 total points, comparing the Native American and English viewpoints. Most of the points should be for the English viewpoints.

Create a T-chart with at least 25 points, with the Native Americans on one side, English colonists on the other.
Option 3: Illustration of Colonial English Village
Option 4: Images in Action
Create a drawing of an English Colonial village (think about Plimoth Plantation). In this you will need to label the major points of the reading, including the fences the agriculture, the roads, etc.
With one other partner, create a series of 5 pictures that clearly show the ENGLISH view of nature. You should pick 5 themes for each of the images and CLEARLY act it out. The images will need to be printed and then captioned.

  1. This video is totally related to our learning. This movie shows humans taking what they want no matter what people get hurt in the process. humans come to a foreighn planet searching for a very valuable earth mineral and in the proccess destroy the native aliens home and destroying their most sacred area. This is a movie that shows human nature, see something we want destroy everything in our path to get it.

  2. This film connects to what we are currently learning because it shows people (the English) who meet these creatures in a new land (N.A.). The people want the resources that the creatures have. The people fight and wage war against the creatures when they refuse to leave an area that is sacred to them. The people only want the area because underneath, there is some resource that they really want, even though they don't need it. Not all people want this though, so some people side with the creatures to help them. The only thing is that the ending of Avatar is very different from the N.A. and English situation.
