Mesoamerican Memories - 3D Mini Models

To commemorate the accomplishments of the Mesoamerican cultures--the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incans--students are in the process of building 3D models of these civilizations.  Working in teams, students researched and took notes on a compare/contrast chart, then planned their design of their 3D model of one civilization, and are now in the process of representing each standard within their models, including:  location/land/climate, economy & trade, roles of people, religion, art & architecture, and achievements.  View some of their "day one" progress below:
