HISTORIAN DEBATE
On October 31st, the final day of the unit we will have students gather in the gymnasium at 8 am.
We will all meet in the gymnasium to listen to two historians debate about whether Columbus was a hero or a villain. These historians will have looked at similar sources and read arguments that you have looked at in your classes. One historian will argue that Columbus was a hero and the other will argue that, while we see Columbus as a hero, in actuality he was a villain to the people of the new world. This event will not be assessed, but rather is an opportunity to for students to see a culminating, professional debate. |
