Social Studies Week 7 Term 3

In 1492, Christopher Columbus went to India from Spain, but arrived at America. He then called the natives there, Indians.

Push and Pull factors of America!

Push Factor

Being an embarrassment to his parents
Struggling to sell his farm produce
She hates high society
The East the far too crowded
Financial collapse

Pull Factor

Looking for gold
Wanting to be a fur trapper
Wanting to find her husband 
Wants to get rich quickly
Freedom of religon

Obstacles

Attack by Indians
Attack by bandits
Constant wind
Wild animals attacking
Huge distance to travel

Flowback

Loneliness
Mud falls through roofs of houses
No doctors
No schools
Droughts

I would not move to the West if I could. It's the Indian's land and something's more likely to go wrong there. I could get killed by Indians or get killed by Indians. So that is my decision. 

Native American

First Contact

  • They moved to America 50,000 years ago

    I like the use of two graphics. The story behind the name 'Indians' is interesting isn't it. What meaning can you make from this? For example, can you connect this migration to any other data, like native American population size?

  2. Josh, it is wonderful to see your use of the blogs as your work space has really improved this term, which is fantastic. I would like to see a concluding statement underneath your graphs in the future, stating what is happening, or showing your interpretation of the data. An excellent step forward, well done.
