All Classes:
We had an assessment today about the Zinn reading and making inferences. If you were not in class on Friday, you will have to make this up at a later date.
All classes must bring in some piece of information about the Black Plague for class on Monday. This could just be your standard facts, an image, poem, song, etc. If you are printing this out, it must be printed out BEFORE my class.
If you were not in my class this Tuesday, April 14th, you missed an in-class activity that you need to make up. Please answer the questions below (based on the Zinn reading) and turn them in to me Monday.
There are five questions below, choose four to answer. Use textual evidence to answer these questions!
1) Columbus gives an exaggerated report of the discovered lands to his royal employers. What, do you think, is Columbus’ reasoning to do this? What does this tell you about Columbus and his mission?
2) What mistakes do historians make (according to Zinn) when discussing controversial figures like Columbus?
3) According to Zinn, how should we approach history/how should history be told?
4) Based on your answer for #3, select two historical events and describe how they would be approached based on Zinn.
5) According to Zinn, what does he hope to accomplish with this book?
