7th grade has been learning about the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica. While studying the Aztecs, the classes spent Friday being split into “specialized professions” as the Aztec people were. Some tried their hand at being master artists who created religious masks. Others were engineers who tried to build/fold temples out of paper. Others were farmers who tried to build chinampas so that they could grow crops on the swampy lake that the great city of Tenochtitlan was built on.
