Teacher Resources
Driving Question: What were the similarities and differences in the methods used by various empires to expand their influence from 1450 to 1750 CE?
Let’s put what you have learned so far to the test! The final lesson of this unit not only reviews key information, but also provides you with an opportunity to practice document-based analysis and writing in response to a prompt. Consistent practice with DBQs will prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead in this course.
Learning Objectives:
- Compare the methods by which various empires increased their influence from 1450 to 1750.
- Identify evidence, sourcing, and complexity in a sample DBQ student essay.
- Create and support arguments using historical evidence to evaluate how governments reacted similarly to increased foreign trade from c. 1450 to 1750 CE.
