Oct. 26/27: The 4 major regions converge: Globalization begins...

Today we will discuss what you learned about connections over land and connections over water. We will then take a look at "Era Six" (Global Convergence).  To have a bit better of an understanding about what the experience may have been like with the world's cultures first began to converge, you will participate in a simulation called "The Hokies and the Heelots"-- you will be assigned to one of these 2 cultures today.
Helpful Resources for today:

• Read Big Era Six: Global Convergence (World History For Us All, UCLA)
• Big Six Era Presentation (Google Slides)

HW: Read The Human Story CH. 9 "We Find Each Other"; Take Notes

Read The Human Story, Chapter 9 "We Find Each Other" (pgs. 147-167); take notes in your Unit 2 Notes document (you will need to add another row in the the first table. Take any notes that are relevant to helping you answer the driving question "How did the world become interconnected". You can also include any details that help you understand what the consequences of those interactions were as the world became interconnected and different regions of the world began to interact (think about how this connects to the Hokies & Helots simulation from class).
