Today students went over the homework (Imperialism Case Study: Nigeria).

Next they completed an assignment called Analyzing Imperial Motives.  Students discussed 5 reasons why European countries became colonial powers, then looked at 15 pictures.  For each picture students wrote down both what they saw happening and what motives they thought were leading to the actions depicted.

This is a complex assignment that will need to be done in the classroom (where the 15 pictures are currently hanging up).  Students who missed this assignment should come to tuorial, after school, or during 4th or 7th periods to make it up.
