This is a short slideshow that goes along with my activity sheet on the Colombian Exchange. It provides a list of foods that originated in the "new world," as well as those that originated in the "old world." The activity was made so that students can understand the blending of cultural aspects. There is also an easy to follow graphic included.

This presentation is an overview of the History and Culture of Southeast Asia, namely Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and The Philippines. All animations were taken out of the powerpoint to allow for ease of access from different version of powerpoint.

This is a worksheet that goes along with my other resource handout called "Colombian Exchange Resource." It has students keep track of their food intake for a few days, and then decide whether or not their food choices came from the old world, the "new world," or a combination. Great exercise in sorting/categorizing.
