What educators are saying

Loved this resource with my 6th grade students. Not super long to read and helped bring together what they had learned in class.

Description

In this engaging Cortes, Aztec, and Tenochtitlan primary source lesson, students dissect a letter written by Henry Cortes to the King of Spain where he describes what he says in Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital city.

This resource is included in my Mesoamerica Unit Bundle to teach the Inca, Maya, and Aztec.

This resource includes a paper in-class version and a 1:1 Google compatible version to be used in conjunction with Google Classroom. Just follow the included instructions for how to access the Google version, then share the resource through Google or assign via Google Classroom. This will allow students to type directly into the document!

Enjoy!
