What do you already know about Christopher Columbus?

This section of your reading will give you a brief overview of the content covered in each chapter.

Before you proceed, did you watch the "Crash Course U.S. History #1: Natives & Spaniards" EdPuzzle video first? 

If no, please read: The reason why you want to watch the video first is because it provides an overview of the corresponding chapter. Our AP textbook is challenging! You will understand more of the reading if you complete the EdPuzzle first, so do that and then come back!

If yes, please read: Way to follow directions! Did you take the time to read through the answer explanations of missed questions? EdPuzzle videos are completion grades because they are your first attempt at learning the historical material, so learn from your mistakes!
