Humanities Feb 5
We are now into our next unit of study. In this unit, students are asked to assess, critically, how the Aztecs were affected by
the Spanish worldview by exploring and reflecting upon the following questions
and issues:
• What were the
key elements of the worldview of the Aztec civilization prior to contact with
the Spanish?
• How did the
Aztec civilization’s worldview influence the Aztecs’ choices, decisions and
customs?
• What key
elements of Spain’s worldview led to the desire to expand the Spanish empire?
• In what ways did
factors such as technology and disease contribute to the dominance of the
Spanish over the Aztec civilization?
• To what extent
were the divergent worldviews of the Spanish and Aztecs factors in the
dominance of one nation over the other?

SUPPLIES NEEDED
Unfortunately, most of the supply of pencil crayons, rulers, markers, and glue sticks, have not been being returned to their proper places in the classroom. As a result, our classroom currently does not have pencil crayons or rulers. Please start bringing your own materials to class. Some of these materials will be replaced but it will take some time to get them ordered.
