Causation in the Imperial Age
Driving Question: To what extent were indigenous responses to colonial rule effective in resisting imperialism, and what were the lasting effects of imperialism on colonized societies?
In this lesson, you’ll work on your writing skills by revising an essay to improve your LEQ skills. You will revise analysis and evidence in a sample essay, complete a writing assessment, and use writing samples to better evaluate your own writing. Completing a series of rubric-based writing activities will give you a solid grasp of how your teacher will assess your writing.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the relative significance of the effects of imperialism from 1750 to 1900.
- Revise analysis and evidence in historical writing.
- Create and support arguments using historical evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of responses to colonial rule.
STEP 1
Writing: LEQ Evidence
Gear up to write your own LEQ essay by evaluating a sample essay from another writer. Focus on the writer’s use of evidence and reasoning, and then apply what you have learned to your own writing.
STEP 2
Assessment: Unit 6 LEQ
You’ve learned so much about colonialism during Unit 6. It’s time to put it all together in this LEQ.
