"This week you learned about one of the biggest meetings in history — when European explorers and the Native peoples of the Americas encountered each other.",
"You learned the Americas were never empty: millions of people lived there with cities, farms, and long histories. You followed the great exchange, when corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and chocolate sailed east while horses, cows, and wheat sailed west.",
"You tried trading without words, and you practiced empathy — seeing both sides of the story, the exciting parts and the sad, unfair parts. Understanding both sides makes you a true historian. Now show what you know!"
