I like to start with this map activity to help students become familiar with the geography. They have often not been introduced to some of the names and so this is a great way to create familiarity to introduce the settlement, issues, and options. The review of what could happen when people are not in favour of their current government has great connections to concerns today.
Other options available include:
- Latin American Independence movements
- Bolivar
- Haitian Revolution
- Brazil’s unique transition
