I love this activity and I like how it allows for the students to make their own idea of what it could be. Thank you so much for this activity!

totally left up to the students, based on person opinion, but within the framework of the definition of imperialism that you show them. I haven't taught U.S. in a few years so I don't have any of the student responses, but I do remember lively debate about what constitutes imperialism.

no answer key, it's really left open to students to determine if these instances are or are not imperialism. The debate is very interesting for some of them, and frankly, it's wonderful to see them act as lawyers and try to figure out and prove the precise definition of words.

Looks good. Is there any sort of answer key or is it totally left up to students, based on personal opinion. I'd love to see some ideas about various possible responses from students.

Is there an answer key for this?
