Homework 9/19 A, B, & C 9/20 D & E

Today we examined claims by historians that centuries before Columbus sailed from Spain in search of Asia, African sailors reached "the New World".  Using a variety of historical evidence including an entry in Columbus' own journal, some historians believe that Africa "discovered" the Americas long before Europe.

Students were asked to read and annotate a historical reading and answer a series of questions using text evidence to support their claims. 

Homework - finish the class reading/questions if not already completed.  Continue to work on the Columbus essay.  Drafts are due 9/27 for A Block, 9/30 for B, C, & D Blocks and 10/1 for E Block
