Need a new way to have students to research South America? Put a little twist in the lesson. Have students play Tic-Tac-Toe while learning about South America.

This lesson will not only give students autonomy and choices in what they learn, but will also create a fun way to have students complete research on South American government, economics, geography, and culture.

Students will receive a Tic-Tac-Toe board with multiple questions, 2 per square. Students will choose one question or activity from each Tic-Tac-Toe square to form a Tic-Tac-Toe horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You may have students complete up to two Tic-Tac-Toe without answering the same question twice. If time is limited, you may shorten the lesson by having students complete only one Tic-Tac-Toe.

°Even before Europeans “discovered” the new world there were advanced civilizations in the Americas: Incas, Olmecs, Mayas, and Aztecs. List the cultural characteristics of each, what they are famous for, and how they still influence the world today.

° Create a Venn diagram comparing Central America and the West Indies.

° Create a stamp reflecting the blend of culture in Central America (Native American, African, and European)

° What challenges does Mexico face today as a result of its expanding population? Propose a solution to one of the challenges they face.

Note: This is a higher-level thinking activity that requires students to not only research the answers to the questions but compare and contrast, create, explain, etc.
