Now we begin our second unit all about the Aztecs!
To start with, we need to learn a bit about who the Aztecs were, where were they located, what did they do, when were they around, and why did they do things the way they did?
To help with this, we will be watching some videos in class as well as exploring some research sites this week. We'll be looking at the empire overall in Engineering an Empire. Then, we will look more closely at Tenochtitlan, the major city of the Aztecs and the history behind how it was built.
This week will be full of exploring the world of the Aztecs BEFORE the Spanish come over from Europe.
