Mission Life LITERACY · 7TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Spanish missions were religious settlements built across the borderlands of New Spain, from Florida to California and through Texas, combining a church, workshops, fields, and living quarters. Their stated purpose was to convert indigenous people to Catholicism and to make them subjects of the Spanish crown, and in practice they were also economic and military outposts. Daily life was regimented: bells marked prayer, work in the fields and workshops, and meals, and residents were not free to leave. Missions taught Spanish, European farming, and crafts, and they also concentrated populations in ways that made epidemics devastating, so mortality was extremely high. Indigenous people responded in every way from participation to flight to revolt, and the missions' legacy is contested for exactly that reason. Questions: 1 What was a mission's stated purpose, and what else was it? 2 Why were epidemics so devastating in missions? 3 How did indigenous people respond? www.littleactivity.com 7th Grade · Literacy
