After learning about the many atrocities that Columbus’ men inflicted on the Native Americans.  Do you really think we should be celebrating “Columbus Day”?  I would like you to reflect upon this question.  After hearing all the groups’ arguments, who do you think is MOST guilty for the Native American genocide?

1. First, go to WordPress.com. You may need to register in order to make a post. You can make up a fake blog name so you can REALLY say what you think without your friends knowing it’s you!  You just need to let me know it’s you.

2. Answer the question. Who is MOST guilty for these crimes?  Write at least paragraph or more to respond to the question.  Your paragraph must demonstrate a clear understanding of what happened under Columbus’ leadership on the island of Hispaniola.  Use the resources and links that are posted on Edmodo to develop your argument.

3. Read the other responses and write a reply to someone else. You must write a complete paragraph here as well.  Your reply should be mature and sound educated. I don’t want you do say “this is stupid” or anything like that. When you write your blog posts, you should take the time to use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.  If someone replies to your blog, you should definitely respond back!

All original blog posts should be completed by the time you get to class on Monday.  You should respond to someone else’s blog post by the time you get to class on Tuesday for full credit.
