This is my entire Unit Plan on the Aztecs, Mayans and the Spanish Conquistadors, that takes one week long to teach. I have used this unit plan with great success and the students loved it, although I have not fully tested this on higher level secondary students, that does not say that it cannot work. The books that are used in the Plan and the Videos used I do not own, the videos can be easily found on Youtube, (the HTML links are found in the Unit Plans themselves). I incorporate as much geogra

This Map is used hand-in-hand with my Unit Plan I have also listed. I had trouble finding my own map to make so I needed to use a free download map I had discovered then had to alter it to make it work.
