  1. Creation of the time traveler brochure • How did they come to the Americas? • What foods did they eat? Did they raise crops? Did they hunt animals? Did they follow animal herds? • How did they build homes? What materials did they use in building homes?  Were they settled in communities, or were they nomads living in temporary homes? • What types of art and crafts did they produce? • What did they trade? With whom did they trade • Did they have a religion? What were some of their beliefs?  • Did they perform sacrifices? If so, what kinds of sacrificesand why? • How was the tribe organized? Who made the rules? How were leaders chosen?  Describe one of their leaders.  • What type of recreation did they enjoy? • What were the roles of women in the ancient cultures? What wer e the roles of children in the ancient cultures? Name what you believe to be their greatest accomplishment. • How did they communicate? Did they have a written language? • Describe the climate and physical features where they lived. • How did the environment influence their choice of building materials and food? • How did they expand their empire? Each brochure should include • a map illustrating the physical area controlled by that cultural group • a timeline showing the origin and ending dates of the culture • visuals (e.g., pictures of major buildings, clothing, religious attire, etc.) • descriptions of cities and temples • illustrations of writing and scientific accomplishments (e.g., Aztec calendar) • a narrative describing the origin, life, and culture. Ask students to imagine that they are able to travel in time to these ancient cultures. (One student in each group will focus on Maya, one on Aztecs, andone on Incas. Then each student will share and compare information as they create their brochures for, ideally, an eventual whole-class display or presentation.) The following guiding questions should be used for their reading and writing: In addition to using their textbooks, students can go to http://www.google.com on the Internet and search for additional information onAztecs, Incas, and Maya for their travelbrochures.
