La Relacion

Bellringer: What does the following quote describe about the conditions the settlers faced?

“Our bodies so emaciated we could easily count every bone and looked the very picture of death.” page 73  

Recap: While watching the snow fall, we read page 18-20 in the textbook, recapping the colonial experience, and the dawn of American writing.

We then began La Relacion, starting with Cabeza de Vaca's biography, on page 68. The focus of the story was the initial experience of the early Spanish conquistadors.

Enjoy your early dismissal! Stay safe!
