SubjectCivilizations

This learning resource focuses on the comparison of Mesoamerican and Andean civilizations, specifically the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas, in relation to how geographical factors shaped their cultural practices. Students will explore the differing environments of these civilizations—such as the swampy lake systems of the Aztecs, the dense jungles of the Mayans, and the high Andes Mountains of the Incas—and how these influenced their agricultural practices, urban development, and social structures. Through structured comparison using the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework, students will analyze and articulate the impact of geography on cultural practices. The resource also includes activities for brainstorming prior knowledge and reflecting on cultural influences tied to geography.
