After you discussed your Chapter 2 reading in your table teams, we shifted focus to discuss the Columbian Exchange and it's effects on ecosystems and people.  We took some side trips along the way to interweave other historical developments and events into the narrative, for instance, discussing the role of trade across the Pacific, the development of corn (maize) in the Americas, and the Castas which resulted from racial mixing in Spanish controlled territories.

Chapter 3 is due tomorrow!  Have a great evening!
