The learning Target: I can write and perform a script about the main reasons for the fall of the Mayan Civilization. In this we had to make a skit it on the Decline of the Mayan Civilization. Me and my group made a script about what we read in an article. I wrote the script with one other person. Our skit turned out kinda funny.
Learning Target: I can compose an interview between an Inca ruler and a Spanish conquistador.
The main ideas of this project was to be able to present an exhibition and show what we learned about the Inca or Aztec civilization. In this project we had to research about the Inca or Aztec civilization. I researched about the Inca civilization. Me and my partners each had to research about one thing that the Incas used that was a rise or a demise. I researched about llamas which was a rise and I also researched about the Spanish which was a demise. I had to write a 150 word paragraph explaining what it was and why it was a rise or a demise. After we knew what we were making and we knew all about them we had to make something that represented them. So I made a cross which represented the Spanish and I made a statue of a llama which represented a llama. So when the clay dried we needed to paint them which took a little bit because we had to first make a base coat and then once that dried we had to paint all the details in. After I had made the clay sculptures I needed to make a choice board project which was something that we made that had to do with the what we were talking about. I created a kahoot for what they learned from our presentation. In digital media we made movie posters about the Inca or the Aztec. I did one about the Inca and it was called Llamas of Peru. We had to make a little description about our movie too. Some challenges I faced in this project was probably memorizing my script because we only had one day to memorize everything so that was pretty hard. One habit of heart and mind I needed for this was effort and refinement because I needed to go over my script many times.
