In order to get credit for this project you must watch the following film and submit the completed movie worksheet:
The Conquistadors: Hernan Cortez
The New World, 1519. The Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortez lands on the coast of Mexico ostensibly on a trip to gather more slave labor for Cuba, but this bold adventurer has a different plan: conquer or die. This action packed film describes the extraordinary story of how 500 Spanish soldiers under Cortez managed to conquer a nation of millions. This is a documentary that I first started using in 2002, and I'm happy to resurrect this one. One of the most interesting aspects of this film is that it does a great job showing both how the Spanish react to the Aztecs and how the Aztecs react to them, and how this interplay helped hasten the Aztecs' defeat. To get credit for watching this movie, download the movie worksheet attached here and fill in answers as you watch the film. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did.
