Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a full-class rotation of about 60 to 75 minutes, with groups spending 10 to 12 minutes per station and completing the organizer as they go.
- Discussion question: How did the casta system shape who had the motivation to lead independence movements, and how did Creoles and Mestizos differ in their goals? Ask students to cite a specific station.
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pre-teach the Key Terms (casta, viceregal, hegemony) on an index card and pair students with a reading partner for the longer passages.
- Extension for advanced students: have them compare Bolívar's and Hidalgo's visions of independence and write a short paragraph assessing which faced greater obstacles.
- Estimated time: about 75 minutes total including a 10-minute debrief where groups share one key finding from each station.
