Ch. 1 Early Civilizations
During this unit you will study 3 early civilizations - The Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca. This is one of my favorite topics as these cultures were very innovative and have had an impact on our culture even today. Each section will involve reading and taking picture notes in class with me. Please remember that a pre reading is required before our class reading in order for you to process more information and make it stick.
I have linked a number of resources below for you to view and reinforce your learning from the textbook. A quiz will be given after each section as well as a final test. The skeleton notes and the picture notes will serve as your study guides. You may also access a study guide for this unit on Quizlet. Quiz questions will be taken directly from the notes.

Students were provided a hard copy of the test and we annotated the text, highlighting the unfamiliar vocabulary, underlining items that were especially foreign or confusing, and noting background knowledge on topics when possible. Students are expected to return to the hard copy after instruction and circle what they believe to be the correct answers.
