Cortez and the Aztecs

While frantically searching for a more interactive way to teaching the Aztecs, I came across this PBS website of lesson plans. 

I clicked on the lesson plan ideas about the Aztecs and was blown away!  So many good ones.  For example, having a UN discussion of if we should hold a 500th year celebration of Hernan Cortes conquering the Aztecs.  This gets into--was it good for Cortes to conquer?  Was it inevitable?  What are the impacts?  Are the impacts important or could we have lived without them?
