Part I

Your summary must concisely cover all assigned sections from the textbook for the week, and broadly explain the themes of the assigned chapters. Other sources for deeper context are encouraged, especially if the material included is of an unexpected perspective. Summaries do not have a set page count; however as a general rule summaries under a page will definitely be too broad to cover the material. The lowest summary grade will be dropped.

When writing this week, emphasize the significance of the material-focused colonization of Central and South America.
