Former Texas State Historian - Short Film on Spanish Conquistadors - God, Gold, & Glory? - Primary Sources

Please notice the magnificent background!!!

Today, the 7th Grade Scholars:
  • Wrote and discussed their responses to an inquiry-based unveiling of a former Texas State Historian; they wrote responses one entry at a time and were to post their responses at their blog.
  • Viewed and critiqued a short video discussing the motives of the Spanish conquistadors
  • Analyzed what different configurations of "God, Gold, and Glory" might show about the motives behind Spanish exploration and conquest
  • Were told about 3 documents they need to read and analyze (See Assignments below.)
Assignments
  1. Continue preparing your "Sell Myself" Project.
  2. Read and analyze the 3 primary source documents by Cabeza de Vaca, Coronado, and Moscoso.
  • As mentioned in class, you can come up with various ways of doing this, and I'd like you to come up with as many ideas on your own as possible.
  • If you are drawing a blank, though, click here for sints and huggestions.
  • When you finish, post your analysis at your blog.
