History of the Americas Homework and Extra Credit (October 30)

History of the Americas students --

make sure you read pgs 85-90 from your big handout tonight to review the final steps of the Spanish conquest of the aztecs and the institution of encomienda! Its a very important factor (both economically and socially) in mexico to this day, so make sure you come in with questions.

Also, for a little fun, I've provided the following pictures! This one the right is a mexican map of Tenochtitlan at the time of conquest.

I will give you extra credit on the upcoming test if you can figure out what this picture below is of, and write a paragraph telling me why you think it is what you think it is! (hows that for good english!)



GOOD LUCK!




















Also, for more images of Tenochtitlan through the ages up to the modern day, check out the following web site!
