In my absence....

This will count as a grade in quarter 3. Please complete and leave in the appropriate box for your class period if you want credit. It cannot be turned in tomorrow if you choose not to work.

1. The substitute should hand you a multiple choice worksheet based on Guns, Germs, and Steel: Collision at Cajamarca
2. This is NOT A QUIZ grade, even though it says it is--it will count as an in-class graded assignment though. TAKE YOUR TIME.
3. You may use the text for support if you wish. Since there are very few copies left (even though the copies were to remain in the room), I have provided a link to the texts (below) if you need it and do not receive one.
4. Tomorrow we will begin source 2 for the research paper.

 Answers from class:

1. The “Old World” is Europe and Asia (the colonizers) and the “New World” is the Americas (north and south).

2. The factors that led to Atahuallpa’s capture was a “decisive moment” in history and was also similar to circumstances to “old”/”new” world collisions that happened elsewhere.

3. They were scared because they were far outnumbered, in foreign territory, had not dealt with “the Indians” before—reinforcements were far away
