M2 Activity 5 In connection to the fur trade in Michigan, I would teach my student about the concepts: trade, supply and demand and collaboration. I would probably select a text and/or a video segment that shows the points of view of the American Indians, the coureurs de bois, the sellers at the trading post, the French government, the missionaries and the French consumers and use the thinking routine Circle of Viewpoints (from Making Thinking Visible from Harvard Project Zero). This thinking routine would highlight the different perspectives of each stake holder and would provide an engaging opportunity for students to develop their understanding of the concepts of trade and supply and demand. The related concept of collaboration would be taught because the demand would not be met without ongoing collaboration between all stake holders.
