Make sure your thesis is a strong one that addresses both the progress and the hardship.
Re-Research
Now continue with your research, this time to gather information (visual and statistical as well as written) in
support of your thesis.
Look at the same types of information you did during yesterday’s research. In other words, collect supportive
visual and statistical information as well as written information. Collect quotes from people at the time that back up
your thesis. Find relevant excerpts from laws, declarations, or other official documents. Make notes of statistics
that seem to add weight to your views. Create graphs, charts, or other ways to represent information. Think about
visuals that will provide a little context or color. Either draw them yourself or print images from the Internet.
For example, if you were working on the sample thesis (“Spanish settlement in the Americas during the 1500s
brought wealth and new products to many Europeans, but Native Americans suffered death and the loss of wealth
and land”) you might gather the following:
• Quotations from explorers, kings, merchants, and so on.
• Drawings of the gold and silver the explorers found in the Americas.
• Magazine pictures of products that went to Europe such as potatoes, tomatoes, squash, and so on.
• Advertisements in Europe about going to the Americas.
• Statistics about wealth in Europe.
• Statistics on the decline of Native Americans because of European diseases.
• Maps of land claims before and after colonization.
• Pictures of the Spanish taking gold and silver.
• Government documents from the time.
• Letter from Bartolome de Las Casas about the abuse of Indians.
You could handwrite the quotes or find them on the Internet and print them out. Illustrations, maps, paintings,
diagrams, and so on can be drawn and colored by you, photocopied from the textbook or other sources, or printed
from the Internet. Create charts and graphs to quickly and effectively represent facts, figures, and statistics.
Once you have completed this activity, you’ll have all the raw materials you will use to complete this lesson
tomorrow. need help with this ;-;
