OBJECTIVE::
To become familiar with the expedition of the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes.

TIME:
35 minutes

Three class members are chosen to pretend they are Hernando Cortes. They will stand next to each other in the front of the room facing the class. 

Fourteen other students are selected to ask one question each during the game. They will be given a number from 1 to 14. This is the number of the question that they will ask when the game begins. Questions will be asked in order starting with the student who has number 1.

For every question asked, the three Hernando Corteses will each give an answer. Cortes “number 1” will always answer first, “number 2” second, and “number 3” third. Only one of the three is really Hernando Cortes. The real one will always tell the truth when answering a question. The other two Corteses will say many things which are not true. After all questions have been asked, class members will vote for the person they think is the real Hernando Cortes.

This game is played like a television game show. As the teacher, you are the “MC,” or Master of Ceremonies. The three Corteses are referred to as contestant “Number 1,” “Number 2,” and “Number 3.” The people who ask questions are called “panelists.” After a panelist asks a question, all three Corteses will answer before the next panelist asks a question.

After all of the questions have been asked of the three Hernando Corteses in the front of the room, class members will vote for the person they think is the "real" Cortes. 

Easy-to-follow Teacher Instructions and answer key included, along with a 20-question follow up quiz to measure student progress. The quiz can also be given as a homework assignment.
