Update!
This week we began a new project! The Story of Worldviews in Conflict is a chance for you to creatively demonstrate your knowledge of Spanish and Aztec worldviews and your understanding of how those worldviews came into conflict, as well as respond to our main inquiry question: Why should we care about the impact of cultural contact between the Spanish and Aztec civilizations?
All project details can be found through Evernote, including the assignment sheet, rubric, assigned groups, and approved resources.
After launching the project on Monday, we watched the documentary Conquistadors: The Fall of the Aztecs on Tuesday to give us some additional insight into the Spanish experience of the conquest, and more information about the conflict between these two groups. Today (Wednesday) we delved into our main source for information regarding the Spanish worldview - the textbook. Sections covered can be found through Evernote.
On Tuesday we also began a new feature in our journals in order to better utilize the feedback received on assignments. The aim of this task is to have each student create a customized bank of strategies for success to use on future assignments and projects. Again, details can be found through Evernote.
Tomorrow (Thursday) we will be having a class discussion exploring the Spanish worldview according to the seven elements that have been guiding our inquiry throughout the year, and recording the notes in Evernote.
Lastly, our week will conclude with our trip to the Reel Fun Film Festival on Friday morning. We will be back around lunch in time to eat and attend afternoon classes.
