I know this is an old post, and you have some cute activities, but this is really upsetting and irresponsible for an educator. Hopefully we've all learned something since this was first posted, and wouldn't be 'celebrating' this figure in any classroom!
ReplyDeleteWe are responsible for changing the conversation and lessons around Columbus - who was, unequivocally and unarguably, an extremely awful person who did a number of horrific things and is responsible for swathes of murder, enslavement, and atrocities. It is important for teachers to avoid perpetuating the weird myths and flat-out lies that somehow have been reinforced about this historical figure, and find alternatives for this day.
( For a very quick and easy reminder about the truth and why Columbus' name should horrify you, see http://theoatmeal.com/comics/columbus_day )
@ Anonymous, you cited an unreliable source which was poorly written and unprofessionally published. He refers to the Francisco De Bobadilla letter and quotes it out of context. Bobadilla was a slandering contemporary of Columbus and a great enemy who tried to destroy him. Have you actually read his primary documents?
DeleteHi! There is a HUGE problem with this resource!
ReplyDeleteI know we teachers try to teach our kids facts. There is nothing to be gained but a lot to be lost by learning lies about Christopher Columbus.
Please, PLEASE take a quick look at the history of Christopher Columbus, like the part where he writes back to Spain about being a mass murderer, trading 9 year old sex slaves, and making slaves wear their own hands as punishment.
Here’s are some very quick and informative fact-based explanations:

Let’s make sure we teach our children about the real heroes all around us, not people who were actual, horrible, human garbage!
@ Anonymous, you cited two poor and unreliable sources. They both refer to the Francisco De Bobadilla letter and quote it out of context. Bobadilla was a slandering contemporary of Columbus and a great enemy who tried to destroy him. Have you actually read his primary documents?
