La Malinche

In this digital history lesson, students corroborate competing accounts about La Malinche, one of the most significant and controversial figures in Mexican history. Students will reason historically about some of the most important historical documents on the conquest of Mexico in order to answer the central historical question: What was La Malinche’s role in the conquest of Mexico?
