HOW AND WHY DID THE US TAKE OVER THE PHILIPPINES?

Lesson 2: HOW DID THE US CHANGE LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES?
Work in the table in Part B of the shared document.

1. Watch 10 mins plus of 'American Imperialism'

2. Use the box of books to research the nature of American Imperialism in the Philippines
Research the political structure, economic, social and cultural effects. Work in groups of 4. Come up with at least 3 points for each area. Choose a font colour, once all your points are decided, insert them in the google doc in your group’s colour.

3. As a class, discuss all the points and distill the google doc down to 5 most important points in each area (that is 20 points in total)

4. Everyone writes 1 point each on a piece of cardboard in big letters so they can be seen on the board. Write points in the same area (eg economic effects) on card of the same colour. There will be 5 points on 5 different cards of one colour. 20 cards in total.
Put the area headings on the board (political structure, economic, social and cultural effects). In each group rank the points. Blu-tac them onto the board in decided order…top is best effect of imperialism, bottom is worst. Look across the 4 columns and move the cards to again compare the relative importance across areas (so, eg, some political points may be higher than some social points)
Once the chart is finished, students can photograph it, or change their google doc to reproduce the chart in their saved copy.
Discuss the relative importance of the factors.
