Causes and Effects: European Discovery of the Americas

Get your scholars examining short and long-term causes and effects of the European discovery of the Americas. This graphic organizer is simple and easy to understand: learners fill in long and short-term causes of the discovery, then fill in long and short-term effects. This would work well as a group activity, where pupils jigsaw the information and then share their findings. Consider modeling with a more familiar topic, like going to school or taking drugs.
