Mexico

Today we are going to start chapter 10.

Chapter Objective: Students will be able to identify key features of Latin America's blending of cultures. 

Things to think about:

1) The four sub-regions of Latin America (Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, Spanish-Speaking South America, and Brazil) differ in many ways, but also share several cultural features.

2) There have been conflicts between the region's native cultures and the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors.

3) Latin America's colonial era has affected the region's cultural and political history. 

Today - make sure you can discuss how Mexico's Native and Spanish influences have shaped the country and what Mexican life is like today.
