Columbus Trial By Katie

In order to get my students hooked into explorers, we do a mock trial. Columbus, his men, King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella, the System of the Republic, and even the Tainos are charged with te slaying of the Taino people. The kids have to defend themselves.

It's from a book called Rethinking Columbus.

It gets the kids active, thinking, and they look at things from various perspectives.
