Unit 7: Mesoamerica
This unit covers the history and cultural characteristics of the major Meso and South American pre-colonial cultures: Zapotec, Chivan, Olmec, Maya, Inca, and Aztec. Students learn about how these cultures were prior to the arrival of Spanish conquistadors during the 'age of exploration'.
This background knowledge sets up students to understand the impact of the explorers in our next unit, "The First Global Age". |
