Day 35: The Fall of the Incas (4/4/11)

Aim: The historians of 2016 will be able to accurately list the major causes of the collapse of the Inca empire. They will demonstrate this by creating a comic strip, flow chart, or a two-paragraph summary.

Task 1: Submit your homework

Task 2 Quick Question: If you could be a member of an empire or civilization that existed in the middle ages, which role in that society would you like to have? For example, I would like to be a trader in the Aztec empire because you get to travel on behalf of the ruler in search of special items and bring them back to the ruler. If you were a good trader you would be handsomely rewarded.

Task 3: Follow along as Mr. Sanders goes through his presentation on the expansion and fall of the Inca empire.

Task 4: For task four you have three options

• Option 1: Create a six box comic strip showing the expansion and fall of the Inca empire. Post your comic to your portfolio.
• Option 2: Create a six box storyboard in Google Docs showing the expansion and fall of the Inca empire. Make sure you use images and descriptions. Post your storyboard to your portfolio.
• Option 3: Write a two paragraph blog post describing the expansion and fall of the Inca empire. Make sure you add a picture to your post.

Homework: Complete the Venn Diagram where you compare and contrast the Inca Civilization with your own society (PAPER ONLY).
