In class on Tuesday, you should complete the Imperialism in Africa DBQ packet and the chart that goes with it. Not every document has a pro/con for each topic - just fill in what's there. If you do not finish your packets/chart in class you need to finish it for homework.
Wednesday in class we will have a free-write using the DBQ documents/questions and your chart to answer the following question:
Evaluate the positives and negative effects of imperialism for the colonized or the colonizers.
The purpose/goal of the activity is to use evidence (found in the documents) to support your argument.
