World History: Chapter 27, Section 2: Imperialism and its effects

This is a note-taking strategy that I came up with, designed, and started using this year. It’s what I called a One-Page Summary, and it’s a one page notes template designed to cover ONE topic, chapter, or section at a time. Because it’s one page only, I focus only on the pertinent information that the students must absolutely walk away knowing.

This worksheet focuses on the the forms of control for imperialism, the forms of management for imperialism, and the effects of imperialism politically, economically, and socially.

IMPORTANT: This needs to be printed on LEGAL SIZED PAPER [8.4X14]

NOTE: *Special powerpoint with notes on motives of imperialism is sold separately as a file called World History: Imperialism and its Effects
