Use an overhead projector or interactive whiteboard to display the map Trading Across the Atlantic Ocean at the front of the classroom. Ask students to identify the twolandmass<span>es and the body of water on the map as you point to them. Use the language of the </span>cardinal direction<span>s as you discuss each. For example, the landmass on the right (east) is the </span>continent<span> of Europe. The landmass on the left (west) is North America. The body of water in between the two continents is the Atlantic Ocean. Ask: </span>Where on the map did the Dutch live in the 1600s?<span> (Europe) </span>Where did the Native Americans live?<span>(North America)</span>
<span>The characteristics of each system that Europeans established in the America are s</span>piety, industry, and courage. <span>These isolated communities each </span>developed<span> their own unique ways of life and cultures, and their interaction with one another was limited in comparison to the extensive trade and conflict of civilizations across the Atlantic in </span>Europe<span> and Asia. Records of </span>European<span> travel to North </span>America<span> begin with the Norse.</span>
