Social Studies Curriculum Map 4.2 Subject: 10th Grade World History Unit: The Age of Exploration Six Weeks: Fourth Time Frame: 1 week Learning Summary: Connecting Hemispheres (Renaissance, Exploration, Enlightenment, Absolutism) By the 16th century, humanistic ideas of the Italian Renaissance were spreading throughout Europe. Humanism, secularism, and a new interest in Greco-Roman heritage were the characteristics of this rebirth of knowledge, art, and literature. This desire for discovery and information later led to the Reformation of the Catholic Church, which in turn led to the Protestant beliefs in Christianity. Taking advantage of new maritime knowledge and inventions, European powers undertook sea expeditions to expand their trade and influence; monarchs of these nations centralized their authority in a quest for absolute power. New ideas about science, human society and government began to sweep across Europe. The Enlightenment reinvigorated ideas, like democracy and individual rights. These ideas were the foundation of the revolutions to come. Students will focus on the visual arts via Renaissance art and more accurate maps from the exploration of the New World. They will also explore the concept of change, with regards to the 95 Theses and the Reformation. TEKS: I can explain why Europeans wanted to explore the New World and how they were able to do so. (WH1D, WH7A, WH16B) I can explain how the European Age of Exploration changed both Europe and the New World. (WH1D, WH6B, WH16C) I can describe the major effects of the Colombian Exchange and the impact the Colombian Exchange had on the Americas and Europe. (WH1D, WH7B) I can explain the development of the slave trade and its impact on the Atlantic slave trade on West Africa and the Americas.

(WH6A) I can summarize the major ideas in astronomy, mathematics, and architectural engineering that developed in the Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations. (WH27B) Enduring Understanding(s) for this unit: New technology, the search for wealth, and a desire to spread Christianity led to an age of discovery which led to Europe becoming a dominant colonizing force in the world.
