Explorations and Early Encounters: (Columbus, deVaca, Champlain)
Return to and now discuss “Columbus in the Classroom.”
What is memorable to you from your reading from this section of our textbook? How much of this is fiction? Speculation?
Question the motives of these writers. Purpose and audience. Why were they writing? To or for whom?
How would you label this writing? Is it a type of travel writing? Literature of Witness?
You may also discuss the essay “Columbus in the Classroom” from the “Resources” area here.
