Key Words
Using the documents analyze the social and
economic effects of the global effects of the global
flow of silver from the mid-16th century to the 18th
century. Explain how another type of document

?
bullion in this period.
You are being asked
to show how the flow
of silver all over the
world effected people
socially and
economically.
Step 3

Your Job!
o Organize the docs

o Analyze
Remember PERSIAN
P = Political
E = Economic
R = Religious
S = Social
I/A = Intellectual and Artistic

This is what I
think about
rules!
Some Rules
1. You must have 2 in a group to make a
group
2. You need to use ALL the documents!
3. One doc can be in more than one group
4. You must have at least 3 groups
Thesis
1. Reread the question
2. Your thesis must include
specific information that
What
responds to the question
Where
is my
thesis?
A Good Thesis
o Specifically addresses the
terms of the question
o Sets up the structure for
the rest of the essay
Your thesis
is worth one
point!
Woo
Hoo!
One
point!
You MUST Analyze
I MUST
Analyze!
Do not list!
List Example: The global flow of
silver has hindered the
development of indigenous
people as can be seen in
documents 4, 5, and 6.
ANALYZE!
The global flow of silver has hindered the
development of indigenous people in several
ways. The subjugation and forced labor of the
South Americans silver mines (doc 4) did not
allow them to develop socially because they
could not participate in any native
institutions.The mass slaughtering of the
Japanese (doc 5) show how oppressive the
government was under the Tokogowa; people
had become afraid to interact and did not develop
at the same rate of the European counterparts…
POV
o Does the occupation of the author give the doc
credibility?
o Does class, gender, background, or religion influence
what is mentioned?
POV
POWER!
o Type of doc effect credibility?
o Journal
o Private Letter
o Public Address
o Timing
o Intended Audience
o Tone (sarcastic, triumphant, haughty)
Additional Documents
An additional document by a
Chinese merchant that described
that manner in which trade was
conducted would be helpful
because it would give insight on
how the flow of silver was effecting
this class of people.
Make sure it is
realistic! Like
a talking cat.
