Throughout the discussion they talked about how the natives were treated by the colonist and the promoters. They also talked about the colonist and their terrible decisions that ended up impacting them. Like being lazy and not wanting to farm, the environment they lived in, and the harsh punishments they gave to their own people (like putting rods through their mouth so they wouldn't eat any more). They also talked about the promoters ambitions intentions of gaining more money and land, while doing very little work. Those were just of the things discussed.
The class performed really well the people in the middle having the discussion were really into, they made it humorous to watch while still spitting out some facts. Also personally taking notes was hard because they were talking very fast and speaking/yelling over each other. So next time they should step in and step out of the discussion, so not so many people are speaking at the same time. I thought the fishbowl discussion was very funny but it also helped me understand some of the content of the book I did not understand before. I feel that the group the performed the best was the natives. This is because the Natives we using a lot of textual evidence and hard pretty good stories about their people. A very interesting point that was made was that not many of the promotres went to America, so they had no idea of what was going on. That is something I kind of forgot, but that was important to mention during the discussion.There was nothing confusing about the discussion. I do not have any further questions about that time period.
