From Republic to Empire

This activity leverages the Problem-Solving Groupwork teaching strategy, which teaches students the skills to work together successfully in small groups.

Achievements of the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas

Students act as museum curators. They will find, identify, and categorize artifacts from the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas.
