Rethinking Columbus: Tainos Article and Gate Annotation Guide
This is a very powerful, intense, thought-provoking article about the history of the Tainos and their interaction with Columbus. It is a 4-page article and it includes a gate annotation guide to go with it. Recommended for older grades, I use this with 8th graders. If you use it with younger grades the vocabulary and details would have to be modified. I focus on the strength and legacy of the Taino people over the horrible actions of Columbus. This article leads to great circle discussions!

For instance, Maryland is named for Queen Henrietta Maria, a Catholic queen, which was fitting for a colony favorable for settlement by Catholics. Caroline/Carolina is the feminine version of "Charles," which many students probably don't know, but later helps make sense of terms like the "Carolingian Renaissance" in world histor
