What impact did Spanish colonisation have on the Philippines? (61-slide PPT, fully resourced lesson)

(0)
In this 61-page PowerPoint students address the Key Question ‘What impact did the Spanish conquest have on the Philippines?’ The lesson begins with a starter activity in which an image of the fiesta of the Black Nazarene is revealed. It is a ‘What’s Behind the Squares’ Activity and students are invited to say what they see as each square is revealed. This leads to a discussion about the impact Roman Catholicism has had (positive and negative) on the country. Students are then provided with aims and objectives which are graduated (all will/most will/some will). There are then some detailed slides on a range of ways in which Spanish colonisation impacted on the Philippines and these are discussed via teacher exposition. These include changes to place names (not least the country name), people names, religion, holidays and fiestas, architecture, loss of land for the first settlers, food and drink, treasures plundered, disease, beauty, language, and education. Students have been asked in the objectives to explain 1, 3, or 7+ areas using their mind maps (these are broken down into neutral, positive, and negative aspects of Spanish colonisation) and are invited to attempt the main task which is to draw a street scene showing some of these changes. An example is given. Once the class have completed this there is then a plenary activity in which students are asked to vote with their feet by standing up and moving to one side of the class or the other. The question is ‘should Spain apologise/pay reparation to countries it colonised?’ (Spain to this day has refused to do so). A homework activity is also included which is intended to consolidate the lesson. I hope your students get as much from this lesson as mine do. It has been written in UK-English and is designed for high achieving high school students.

If you’re lucky enough like me to teach History in an international school in the Philippines (!) this bundle is all my Year 7 local History lessons in one helpful place. I tie it in with trips to Intramuros and McKinley US cemetery. It is a labour of love so please talk to your budget manager if you’d like to purchase this bundle for your department. Any questions please ask. Sincerely, Daniel
