WAS 2 - Global Trade Blog 2

Global Trade
The Columbian Exchange marked the beginning of worldwide trade. The plants, foods, and animals that traveled across hemispheres during the Columbian Exchange are now just some of the many foods and items that are traded around the globe today.
Work with a team to chart the global trade of a chosen food item. Using the Internet, magazines, or books, track the movement of the item from its country of origin to its various destinations around the world.

  • Determine how much of the item the various countries import. Compare the cost of the item in these countries.
  • Compare your team’s item with those of the other teams to determine which is the most popular.
