Low High School, Upper High School Description An account of the resource This lesson plan is meant to have students critically analyze historical accounts that glorify the Spaniards at the time of the so-called “discovery” and conquest of what is today Latin America. Traditionally in American History textbooks, Europeans are portrayed as “heroic” in their colonization of the Americas, thus devaluing the experiences and pre-existing advanced technologies of the Indigenous civilizations and empires. In this lesson, students will analyze sections of Columbus’ diary edited by Las Casas and come to recognize the power that authors have in determining the way that history is written. This lesson will ensure that students are able to identify and understand the role of Las Casas as an editor of Columbus’ text on the “discovery” of the Americas as well as understand the need of Columbus to glorify himself in front of the Spanish Crown in his writing.

Low High School, Upper High School Description An account of the resource This lesson plan encourages students to think critically about the accounts and events that occurred when Cortés and the Spaniards reached the Americas. In this lesson, students will learn about the important historical events that led to Cortés’ glorification and to his reputation as a “heroic” figure based on his power as the author of Cartas Relaciones (Letters from Hernan Cortés). Students will understand how Cortés’ agenda influenced the content and style of his letters to the Spanish Crown. In addition, students will be able to contextualize the setting in which Cortés operated and how this context shaped his letters. Cortés’ justification to the Crown was essential to prove himself worthy of his trip to the Americas due to his previous conflicts with the Governor of Cuba. Students will understand the important role that figures such as the “Malinche” had during this contact. “La Malinche” (Indigenous name) or “Doña Maria” (Spanish name) served as the translator for the Spanish and the Indigenous groups during the conquest period. In addition, students will begin to understand essential aspects of the Aztec empire and the role Montezuma played, as the Aztec emperor, during the Spanish-Aztec contact.

Upper High School Description An account of the resource This lesson plan has students consider counter narratives written by Spanish that challenge the description of conquistadors, such as Cortes, as heroes. Through these counter narratives students will gain new perspectives on the events during this time period. In addition, students will be able to conceptualize the context in which these narratives were written and used in Europe. Students will have the opportunity to explore parts of a counter narrative to Spanish heroism written by Bartolomé de las Casas as well as the illustrations that accompany many of the versions of his book and underscore the victimization of the Indigenous by Spaniards. This will lead into the next lesson about Indigenous authors telling the story of the conquest from their perspective, which is not included in history textbooks.
