Early Latin American civilizations

Today in Humanities, we acquired some new vocab:

QUER, QUES, QUIR, QUIS- ask

1. acquisition-n- the act of getting something for your own
2. inquire-v- to ask about
3 inquisition-n- examination
4. quest-n- search
5. requisite-adj- essential
6. requirement-n- something needed
7. questionable-adj- inviting questions
8. inquisitive-adj- inclined to ask questions

Then, we finished up our Mayan-Incan-Aztec group posters from Friday. Groups shared out their posters and other groups took notes on what they learned. We discussed the differences between these groups and then reflected on what it would be like to live during this time.

Assignment: Think. What do you think it would be like to live in early Mayan-Incan-Aztec civilization? What would you enjoy/not enjoy? Write a 1-page (minimum) diary entry from the perspective of someone living in one of these early civilizations. Tell about your day, events that are happening in your life, thoughts and feelings.

Homework: Vocab pictures with the new vocab. Finish up diary entry and bring to class tomorrow.
