Began Unit 5 today (Imperialism and Colonization)...the students began the period with their first Warm-Up question for this unit of study: What is Imperialism? What continent was first exploited through Imperialism in the 1800's? What did imperialists exploit this continent for? What caused Imperialism to occur in the first place? EXPLAIN.

Following the warm-up question, the instructor went over the background notes on Imperialism from a political and economic standpoint (reasoning). Before moving on to the response questions on the Age of Imperialism (from Tuesday's assignment), the instructor talked with the students about their Tri-Fold Advertisement homework assignment.
