Ancient Civilizations of Mexico, Chapter 6 Vocabulary Builder Due Tomorrow

Today, we discussed and took notes on Chapter 6, Lesson 2 which covers the three major ancient civilizations of Mexico. The three civilizations covered were the Olmec, the Maya and the Aztec. We discussed just how advanced these civilizations were, watched a short video on them and looked at examples of architecture

After touching on these civilizations, we discussed the fall of the Aztec Empire at the hands of the conquistador, Hernan Cortes and how this changed life in Mexico forever.

Below is a link to the video we watched, a few photos I shared with the students and the Lesson 2 notes.

*HOMEWORK ALERT* - The Chapter 6 Vocabulary Builder assignment is due TOMORROW at the beginning of class.
