Students research and take notes on the ancient Mesoamerican cultures, the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incans. Students may use this chart or fold a large sheet of construction paper to take bulleted notes on Location, Land, Trade, Roles of People, Religion, Art, Architecture, and Achievements. Then, students use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the 3 civilizations.

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
