Today in class, we finished our mercantilism game and figured out how mercantilism affected the major European powers. Some won big, some lost big, but in the end, most of you seemed to have a good time along the way (which is a nice bonus).
After the game ended, you had a chance to debrief with your table groups. This is critical information, because it helps show what you learned and understand as a result of playing the game - and because it will help you with tonight's assignment!
HOMEWORK: Your task is to show me that you understand the policy of mercantilism by doing one of the following:
- EITHER you can make a "top ten" list of rules, guidelines, or do's and don'ts to share with European countries that want to become mercantilism powers. For example, you might tell a European country, "always have a lot of ships available to trade goods" (and no, you can't use that one).
- OR, you can make a meme (appropriate for school please!) that shows you understand what mercantilism means, as shown in our game. Please share with me or print it out and bring it in (printing is better than sharing).
