Day SEVEN

I liked the time line activity. I can see myself doing it for my class in relation to ancient civilizations in the "New World", Spain history,  and when the two came together with Columbus and the  Spanish conquistadors.

I really enjoyed hearing about the native american history. Dr. Timmerman was a great speaker and really helped me see a lot of stereotypes that I grew up with that I did not even realize were stereotypes. I liked his advice for when and how to teach native american history in the schools by teaching during Native American history month (November), on Columbus Day, and Thanksgving Day. I think he had good advice to go to a local tribe and teach that history rather than continuing the stereotypical image of an "indian".
