1. Warm-up: After watching the video, list three facts about becoming the president.

2. What Was a Spanish Mission  Missions were religious settlements setup by Spain in the new world  Most missions were a square compound with enclosed walls to protect those inside.  Run by a priest  Often had lookout towers  Had workshops for spinning, weaving, carpentry, ironworking, and tailoring (sewing)  Land inside the mission was for the livestock and growing stuff to eat and sell

4. Missions  Missions were expected to:  Be self supporting (grow, make its own stuff)  Make a profit $$$ for Spain  Produce goods for export (beads, artwork)

5. Purposes of Missions:  Convert the natives to the Catholic faith  Teach the natives to be subjects of Spain (loyal to the government)  Spread Spanish culture and influence throughout the region

6. Daily Life In the Missions  Morning Prayers  30-60 minutes of Catholic school  Worked in the field or workshops  After evening meal, more prayers  More Catholic school

7. Tough Going  Missions were not all that successful.  Mission population shrank.  Natives ran away because they disliked mission life.  It cost the Spanish government lots of $$$ to keep these missions going.

8. Some Success, though…  Some missions did thrive (do well) and eventually became major cities. For example:  El Paso  San Antonio

9. Presidios  Provided military support for the missions, and later, settlements.  Protected missionaries and colonists from attacks by Native Americans

10. Consequences  Spread Spanish culture and religion to Texas  New diseases also came with the missionaries and colonists. The Native Texans had no immunities to these diseases, so many died of influenza and other simple illnesses.

11. Mission Map Your mission must contain (use pencil at first):  A title- your mission’s name, located at the top  Create a 6” square that should be placed in the center of the paper  Draw a detailed compass rose somewhere on the page  Draw and label the river in on the southwest corner of the map  A marketplace with shops  Two guard booths outside your main gate  A church  A granary (a place to store grain)  A carpenter shop  A blacksmith shop  A tailor  A supply house  A well (for water)  Soldiers barracks  Horses stalls  Priest’s housing  Native American’s housing  A farm just outside the mission walls
