Description: Use the discovery of the temple in Mexico City, what was the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, to introduce the story of the Spanish conquest of Moctezuma and his empire in the sixteenth century. This story is a resource to find out if the author is being biased or not. Make a tree map with Moctezuma and Cortes showing the biased side and when the author is being fair to both sides. For example, if I'm telling good things about Moctezuma and bad things about Cortes, I'm being biased. Find the facts and weigh the opinions. =]
