Today we discussed the Columbian Exchange and the consequences thereof.
We learned about the encomiendas system and the racial hierarchies that existed as a part of the castas and mestizo cultures.  
We spent a good amount of time analyzing conflicting accounts of the meeting between Moctezuma and Cortez, and introduced our HAPP analysis skills.  

FOR HOMEWORK if you didn't already, please complete a HAPP analysis on the Las Casas document under DocBlock for period 1.   Your notes for Ch. 3 are also due Monday :)
