SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Click on underlined text to open links to the suggested resources on the internet.
• This interesting exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art includes beautiful artifacts of
U
important objects during the age of exploration and by Carl Wise and David Wheat,
“African Laborers for a New Empire: Iberia, Slavery, and the Atlantic World.”
o This 2014 online exhibition examines the beginnings of Iberian expansion into the
D
Americas in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when political and religious leaders
in Spain, Portugal, and colonial Spanish America established arguments supporting
the use of enslaved Africans—and limiting other forms of coerced labor—in ways
that greatly influenced the development of slavery in the Atlantic World.

o Have students explore either site, choosing one item that would be displayed in a
class museum illustrating the period of 1491 to 1607. Have students print out a good
picture of their artifacts and justify why their choice belongs in the museum in terms
of its significance and implications for the period.
o Use these pictures of artifacts as a review or preview of sections in this AP Period.
