Indiana Jones and the Ancient Aztecs 
By Mr Moor and Mr Gilbert.

This semester our young archaeologists have been busy. They continue to travel the globe to learn more about the ancient civilizations of the world and themselves. 

Our guiding question for this unit is, “What brings ORDER to my own life?

 When they returned from Christmas break, they studied the rulers and systems of Ancient China. They rested over the Lunar Holiday break, but came back refreshed and ready to explore the cultures of Meso-America.

They studied the Olmec and the Mayan civilizations, both of which ended suddenly. Next, they went on to study the Aztecs, a fierce warrior people group. They set out to re-create some of the artifacts that could have been found in a typical Aztec village in Meso-America. They demonstrated great creativity as they showed what daily life was like for the Aztec people.

We experimented with the iMovie program to show you all of our scholars and their artifacts. We hope that you enjoy it!
