What features of Olmec society indicate that it was a civilization? What is a physical characteristic of Lake Texcoco, and how did the Aztecs adapt to it to live there?

Use the Editable Presentation found on the digital course to present the main ideas of the lesson (p. 7) Complete the Start Up Activity on p 7. Students work together to answer these questions: What would people do if they lived somewhere very cold? What about somewhere very hot? How might people find food if they lived near the ocean or a river? What about in a forest? Tell students in this lesson they will be learning about how the physical characteristics of the environment shaped where Native Americans settled and how they lived. Explore Divide the class into 5 groups. Each group is to read a section and be prepared to discuss and share findings with the class. The First Americans & Olmecs Develop a Civilization (p. 7-8); Mayan, Aztec, and Inca Civilizations (p. -8-12); Early North American Societies (p.13); Cultures and the Physical Characteristics of North America (p. 14-20); Religion & The Iroquois League (p. 20-22) Students are to read assigned sections and use the Note Taking Study Guide to help them take notes and understand the text as they read. Explain Elaborate Evaluate The First Americans (p. 7-8) Explain to students that the physical characteristics of the environment influenced population distribution and early settlements in North America. Olmecs Develop a Civilization & Mayan Civilization (p. 8) Explain that the Olmecs and the Mayas were two different tropical civilizations that were shaped by the physical characteristics of their environment in Central America Aztec and Inca Civilizations (p.8) Explain that the Aztecs were a civilization in present-day Mexico, while further south, the Incas built a civilization along the west coast of South America. The Aztec settled near shallow swamps, and the Incas in the mountains. Both civilizations altered the land in order to farm. Religion & The Iroquois League (p. 20-21) Remind students that the physical characteristics of regions shaped where people lived and what their lives were like> This includes people’s religious practices and housing. It also includes their social and political structures, as with the Iroquois in present-day New York. ~Guided Reading and Discussion (p. 7, 9): (p.7) Have students explain the process by which Native Americans spread across and came to settle in North America. Ask students to predict how the different geographical regions of North America will impact Native American groups. (p. 9) Compare and contrast where the Incas and the Aztecs lived and how they utilized their environments. (p. 9) Determine why is it relevant to know about the physical characteristics of the region in which a civilization lived? ~Analyzing Maps and Charts (p. 7, 11, 14, & 15) (p. 7) Why do some scientists disagree with the land-bridge migration theory? (p.7) (p. 11) What does the organization of Aztec society tell us about the Aztec’s values? (p. 14) Which tribes listed on this map do you know about? (p. 15) How did the foods Native Americans ate influence their way of life? Assign the Digital Lesson Quiz for this lesson. Teachers can also opt to have students demonstrate mastery by responding to the following questions on paper: Explain how scientists believe the first settlers arrived in the Americas? What major impact did the development of farming have on the early settlers of America? What affect did climate and the availability of natural resources have ton the population distribution and settlement patterns of early Native American cultures? How did the Aztec’s religious beliefs weaken their empire? Compare and contrast how the Incas and Anasazi peoples used their engineering skills to adapt to their physical environment.

Describe patterns of trade and technological innovations in the Muslim world, Africa, and East Asia. Identify the impact of technological innovations on Renaissance Europe. Stop & Check for Understanding—High Level Questions How did the Crusades affect trade in the Middle Ages? How would you define the Silk Road?
