Unit Overview
Points of focus in this unit include the end of feudalism, new technology, demographic and population
patterns, Columbian Exchange, global economic systems, coercive labor systems and changing
social patterns. Students will develop a understanding of
 Improved agriculture and technology: increased the need for new resources in order to
provide for growing populations
 Population Shifted: urban centers flourish as feudalism declines
 Innovation shift: Economic, technological and social innovation spurs exploration
 Increased trading:
o Maritime trade networks develop in Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean
o Land empires link intercontinental trade (Muslim and Mongol)
o Goods, Ideas, and diseases “go global”
o Countries/regions compete for resources through conquest and colonization of new
factor markets creating mercantilist economies
 New Social patterns: developed in areas as a result of cultural exchange
Unit Enduring Understanding(s)
1. New technology often supports long
distance exploration.
2. Competition for new resources often
creates new political, economic, and
social systems.
3. New trade networks can create
opportunities for the global exchange of
goods, ideas, and diseases.
4. Competition often generates new
commercial institutions and conflict.
Unit Essential Question(s)
1. What caused a desire for new
commodities?
2. How did the need for new resources
lead to new political, economic and
social systems?
3. How did the new trade networks impact
regions?
4. How did new commercial institutions
shape global interaction?

Unit “Chunking” & Enduring
Understandings
Improved agriculture and
technology
Societies often become more
urban, demand more commercial
goods and labor saving devices
as a result of technological
improvements.
Innovation shift:
States often increase their
spheres of influence to compete
for resources and power
New economic and social
systems can emerge to control
and expand trade

Language Objective EXAMPLES

Key Vocabulary LO: SWBAT define and explain the terms mercantilism, urbanization,
colonization, trade and societies.

Language Functions LO: SWBAT explain what caused a desire for new commodities

Language Skills LO: SWBAT read a passage about urbanization and identify the cause
and effects of urbanization. (Reading passages should be chosen/modified in accordance
with the LEP students’ zone of proximal development).

Grammar and Language LO: SWBAT use comparatives in writing assignments (more than,
less than, greater, shorter, longer, etc.) by comparing the quality of life for each class in the
feudal system. .

Lesson Tasks LO: SWBAT read and summarize a passage about urbanization and explain
4
this summary to a group.

Language Learning Strategy LO: SWBAT develop a cause/effect graphic organizer
analyzing and identifying the causes and effects of mercantilism. (The linguistic load will
vary from LEP student to LEP student. Level 1-2 LEP students may need a word bank or other
supplement to complete this activity using this strategy).
