6.G.1.2 Explain the factors that influenced the movement of people, goods, and ideas and the effects of that movement on societies and regions over time (e.g., scarcity of resources, conquests, desire for wealth, disease and trade). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will understand: The movement of people, goods and ideas can affect a society or region o culturally. o politically. o economically. For example: During the Age of Exploration, Europeans came to the New World seeking wealth and valuable natural resources. Upon arrival, they came in contact with the native population. An effect of this contact was the spread of diseases like smallpox in the New World. Natives were not immune to these diseases and it had a devastating effect on their population. Some estimates place the death toll from European diseases close to 90% of the pre-Columbian population. Both desire for wealth and scarcity of resources can often be motivating factors in influencing the movement of people, goods and ideas. The emergence, expansion and decline of a society or region may be influenced by movement. The student will know: Factors that motivate the movement of people, goods and ideas.
