NAME:______________
You can either take on the role of a publicist, a storyteller, or a member of the Aztec or Spanish
civilizations.
Regardless of which option you choose, everyone will be marked for the same information.
Read the rubric at the bottom of the page to see how you will be marked and follow the
checklist as you go to ensure you do not miss anything.
OPTION ONE
You are an employee for a firm that publicizes (makes public) complex
and potentially devastating situations. In the past you have covered
arms races and religious conflict.
OPTION TWO
You are a storyteller who has travelled back in time to just before the
point of contact between the Spanish and the Aztec civilizations. You
remain in that time period as events unfold. You are omniscient (above
the fray, and all-seeing). You decide to write a story to show how
contact has impacted both civilizations. (ELA 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.1, 5.2)
Create either a short story, a graphic story, or a comic strip, to answer the
following questions:
What were the Aztec and Spanish civilizations like before having
contact with one another? (SS 8.3.1; 8.3.4.1, 8.3.4.2 & 8.3.4.3)
How were the Spanish AND the Aztecs impacted by contact? (SS
8.3.1; 8.3.2; 8.3.4.4)
OPTION THREE
Your writings must begin BEFORE contact has been initiated between
the two civilizations to demonstrate what your civilizations worldview
was like before contact. (ELA 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 5.1, 5.2)
What were BOTH the Aztec and the Spanish civilizations like
before contact?- Hint: If you are an Aztec, how might you find out
what Spains worldview was like? Or vice versa. (SS 8.3.1;
8.3.4.1, 8.3.4.2 & 8.3.4.3)
Write an entry about how this event can inform our understanding
of worldview.
