Great Christopher Columbus Video

I came across this video on Christopher Columbus that I think is very balanced. It acknowledges the fact that he treated the native people brutally but also acknowledges that, for better or worse, his actions still changed the world. It would be great to use as a summary after you have covered notes on Columbus or as a review at the beginning of class the day after you have covered Columbus.

By the way, I’ve got a Christmas freebie coming soon! Check the blog later this week or first part of next week!
