In Mr. Harper's social studies class, they used the previously created student continents from their geography unit to stage an invasion simulation to re-create the Spanish invasion of the New World. Students who use their own maps got to experience and then reflect on how they believe the natives felt by having their land taken. The invaders approached it from the opposite direction of how important and influential technology was during that time.
