Unit 3 Exam Thoughts:
Vocal is essential: learn the vocabulary. The rest of the whole unit is based around knowing the vocabulary.
Do your homework. Over 50% of the test was pulled directly from classwork and homework.
Read the directions. So few people followed the directions on the test :(
What were relationships like between European colonists and Native Americans during the early 1600s? (circle all that are correct).
a. Colonists and Natives were constantly fighting against each other. b. There was a “middle ground” where neither group really dominated the other. c. The colonists were totally helpless and relied on the Natives to survive.
Why did the early colonists rely on indentured servants? (circle all that are correct). a. They were cheaper than slaves. b. They didn’t know how to, or didn’t want to, take care of themselves and farm their own land. c. Life was hard in Europe so lots of people wanted to come to the “New World.”
Black indentured servants were mostly treated __________________________ White indentured servants in the early 1600s.
a. the same as b. worse than c. better than

Pocahontas / Matoaka shows that race wasn’t as important back then as religion.
Anthony Johnson shows how back then, Black folks were treated the same as whites and could become very successful.
The fact that they didn’t ask for race in wanted posters shows how they didn’t see race back then.
Bacon’s Rebellion shows that blacks and whites wanted to work together but the powerful people used “Divide
and Conquer” to try and keep them separated.
The fact that they had to create laws to enforce slavery shows that it wasn’t a natural thing that just happened.
Linneaus and Blumenbach show that they had to use science to try and defend slavery.
Latinos & “Race”
“Race” is not BETTER than “Ethnicity.”
“Latino” is not a race in the USA because there are Black, white, brown, Asian, etc. Latinos. By definition race is based on physical looks. Latinos come in all colors.
“Mestizo” is closer to a race…
Unit 3 Final Exam

Warm-UpWeek 20 | Jan

1. What do you see? (3+ things) (hint: pilgrims)
2. What do you think it means? What are they trying to say?
Political Cartoon Gallery Walk
For each of the Political Cartoons you see, write down as many things as you can that you SEE in the image. Objects, famous people drawn in caricature, word balloons, text, etc.
Then, with your team, analyze the image: What do you think it’s trying to say? Who is it criticizing? What point of view does it have about immigrants and borders?
Gallery Walk Directions
Your team will start with one image to analyze together. You have 8 minutes per image. 3 minutes to note things you see, and 5 minutes to analyze the image.
Then pass the image to the next group, counter-clockwise.
Repeat for all three images!
