LAUNCH
On October 13th, Columbus Day, students will gather in the gym at 8 o'clock a.m.
While there, you will be introduced to the concept of our inter-disciplinary unit on Christopher Columbus. You will be introduced to Christopher Columbus who will arrive to our assembly via ship. He will not only describe how he feels about you learning about him but he will also explain why we are learning about him by explaining how he should be remembered as a hero. From the launch, you will walk away with a biased view of Christopher Columbus and his voyages. It is the intention of the launch assembly for you to think one way so they are challenged when they walk into your classes discussing and learning about how he can also be seen as a villain. You will learn more about his villainous aspects when we have an Aztec speaker come and talk to us at the next assembly on October 24th. |
