Summary:

Conquistadors Online Learning Adventure

Description:

"Welcome to the Conquistadors On-line Learning Adventure! We have created this innovative educational resource for middle and high school classrooms to learn about the Spanish Conquistadors in the New World and the legacy of their contact with Native Americans. There are extensive lesson plans for teachers and in-depth online content for students available in both English and Spanish. We hope you enjoy this valuable online resource! Was the fall of the Aztec Empire inevitable? Was Cortes a hero or a villain? What would the world be like today if the Aztecs had been the "conquistadors" and conquered Europe? Why do you think that such a well-governed and peaceful empire, which stretched 2,500 miles from Ecuador south to Chile, could have been conquered by only 200 Spanish Conquistadors? What is the legacy of the Incas? How did Francisco de Orellana survive the impossible journey down the Amazon? Was Orellana a hero or a traitor? Did he encounter the legendary Amazonian women warriors? Is the conquest of the Amazon rainforest over? How was Cabeza de Vaca similar to and different from other Conquistadors? Which route do you think Cabeza de Vaca took? What does "meeting the Other" mean to you? What basic rights do YOU think all people possess?"
