13YO: Investigating the Great Civilizations of the Americas

In Mr. Nellermoe's Cultural Studies 13 class, students are researching questions that they independently formulated about how "advanced" early American civilizations were. Based on their findings, students will create a claim that is supported by facts which they will present to their classmates through a product of learning such as an essay, a Canva presentation, or a podcast/video presentation. This project allows students to think critically about the Incan, Mayan, and Aztec cultures; formulate and communicate claims in diverse ways; and to deepen their understanding of early American civilizations.
