Remember, while we do need to have an overview of events prior to 1750 in order to understand the context, this should be nothing more than an overview understanding.
Your focus from today and the readings for home learning is to understand the main impacts of Spanish rule between 1750 and 1896.
Use the frame above to structure your learning today.

2. Diamond 9: Evaluating the most important impacts of the Spanish Colonisation on the Philippines
|
Create a diamond nine as a class under the heading:
Effects of Spanish Imperialism….the best….to the worst. Argue and justify to agree on the positioning - Then, in an individual copy, each student completes each box of the diamond nine with appropriate detail, using your mind map for the specific evidence - Write an evaluation at the end about which areas were most/ least successful |

3. The first stirrings of nationalism: 3 important figures
Read the Rizal, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo article about these 3 Filipino revolutionaries and then, the other 3 articles entitled "Simple Summary" (1 article on each man). Do a bar chart on A3 individually, but working in pairs to create the chart.
Show each person's relative importance to Philippine Nationalism.
On each bar write their biography, successes, failures and their effect on nationalism
The other articles are more complicated and give more detail. One on Riazal offers alternate perspectives.

4. Nationalism builds: the Spanish are replaced by the Americans
As the 19th century came to a close and the 20th century began, nationalism continued to build slowly from the influences of Rizal, through Bonafacio to Aguinaldo. The Spanish Empire continued to weaken worldwide and in the wake of the Spanish-American War, the Americans replaced the Spanish as the imperial power in the Philippines. The Filipinos questioned the actions of the Americans and nationalism continued to build slowly.

7. What was the nature of American Imperialism in the Philippines?
Use the box of books (or an alternate variety of texts) to research the nature of American Imperialism in the Philippines.
Research the political structure, economic, social and cultural effects. Work in groups of 4. Come up with at least 3 points for each area. Create a class google doc. Choose a font colour, once all your points are decided, insert them in the google doc in your group’s colour.
As a class, discuss all the points and distill the google doc down to 5 most important points in each area (that is 20 points in total)
Everyone writes 1 point each on a piece of cardboard in big letters so they can be seen on the board. Write points in the same area (eg economic effects) on card of the same colour. There will be 5 points on 5 different cards of one colour. 20 cards in total.
Put the area headings on the board (political structure, economic, social and cultural effects). In each group rank the points. Blu-tac them onto the board in decided order…top is best effect of imperialism, bottom is worst. Look across the 4 columns and move the cards to again compare the relative importance across areas (so, eg, some political points may be higher than some social points)
Once the chart is finished, students can photograph it, or change their google doc to reproduce the chart in their saved copy.
Discuss the relative importance of the factors.

8. What was the cause, nature and effect of nationalism in the Philippines?
It was the first nationalist movement in SE Asia. It was very different to other countries as local elites aligned themselves with Spain and the USA.
If you refer to pp129-132 of the Peter Church text, there is a good explanation of the differences between the Philippines and elsewhere, in its nationalism.
Complete a 3 column table, using the headings below. Use the resources you’ve already been given (3 revolutionaries’ articles and your text) to fill in this table:
Beginnings of Nationalism: Causes
Beginnings of Nationalism: Nature
Beginnings of Nationalism: Effects (National Identity by 1914?)
Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of nationalism in the Philippines up to 1914.
