Objective:  Compare and contrast Aztec and Incan civilizations.  Describe the course and consequences of European colonization in Latin America.

Task:  Happy Friday!  As you arrive to class, please get out the completed peer review rubric and your own draft rubric.  Hand in the draft rubric and give the peer review to your partner.  We'll spend the first few minutes of class reviewing the rubric for your presentation.  Then, we'll finish our discussion about the Aztecs before beginning an exploration of the colonization.  Specifically, we'll examine two paintings, the Codex Mendoza and The Mulatto Gentlemen of Esmeraldas, to consider the cultural changes that occurred in Mexico.  Then, you'll analyze primary documents (in Google Drive) from the Aztecs and the Spanish describing Spanish conquest of Mexico.
