Ancient American Pre-Columbian Civilization
The document summarizes three major pre-Columbian civilizations: the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. It provides details on the location, religion, achievements, and possible reasons for decline for each civilization. The Mayans inhabited northern Central America and had a sophisticated writing system and calendar. The Aztecs ruled central Mexico from their capital of Tenochtitlan and practiced human sacrifice. The Incas built an extensive road system and impressive stone structures in the Andes Mountains. All three civilizations declined following the arrival of European explorers and colonizers like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro.
Pre Columbian History
The document provides an overview of three major pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas: the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. It discusses the locations and landscapes of these civilizations, as well as some of their major cities. Key cultural aspects covered include architecture, agriculture, mathematics, calendars, and religious practices such as human sacrifice. Photos accompany the text to illustrate examples of artifacts, structures, and terrain related to each civilization.
Aztec inca & maya
The document describes three ancient civilizations - the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas. It provides details about the size and locations of their empires, important cities, architecture such as pyramid structures, religious practices including human sacrifices, and agricultural importance. All three civilizations had complex societies with social hierarchies, taxation systems, and advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture for their times.
Maya, Aztec, & Inca
The document provides information about three ancient civilizations - the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. It describes the locations and key features of each, including their religious practices, advanced architecture and infrastructure, and how they were eventually conquered by European colonizers. The Maya flourished in Mesoamerica with cities like the Yucatan Peninsula, while the Aztecs dominated central Mexico with their capital of Tenochtitlan. The Inca ruled from their capital of Cuzco in the Andes Mountains of South America, constructing elaborate roads and stonework. All three civilizations practiced polytheism and rituals like human sacrifice before being overcome by the Spanish.
Mayas Elena Y María
The document discusses the Maya civilization which reached its peak in the 9th century AD in the Yucatan Peninsula. The Mayas built magnificent ceremonial cities with pyramids, developed a sophisticated mathematical and calendar system, used hieroglyphic writing, and created fine sculptures, paintings and ceramics. The Maya civilization was located in central America in Mexico and constructed important monuments like step pyramids and palaces for nobles near religious centers.
Beginnings Of Civilization
1. The document discusses how humans learn about the past through artifacts left behind and through written records.
2. It describes the Paleolithic Age or Old Stone Age as a time when small nomadic groups of 20-30 people with few possessions roamed the land.
3. The Neolithic Revolution or New Stone Age followed, where farming allowed for surplus food and larger, more sedentary settlements with more possessions.
Age Of Exploration
The document discusses the Age of Exploration and its global impacts from the 15th-17th centuries. European powers like Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, France and England raced to explore and colonize new lands, seeking wealth from spices and other goods. They established overseas empires through military conquest and economic domination, introducing Christianity and devastating indigenous populations with diseases and slavery. Imperialism expanded nations' authority worldwide through territorial gains and political/economic control of foreign peoples.

Parachute booklet prototype
This document provides a step-by-step guide for parents and students from Years 9 through 12 on preparing for the school to work transition. It outlines the key steps parents can take each year to understand their child's interests and ensure they choose subjects that align with their aspirations. It also explains how the Parachute program helps students build skills each year and make informed subject choices. Finally, it describes how the program will be operated at the school, with resources for teachers and tools to benefit both students and parents.
The Middle Ages
The document discusses several topics related to medieval Europe, including the feudal system, the rise of the Catholic Church, and the Crusades. It describes how a feudal system developed in Europe following the fall of the Roman Empire, with lords granting land to vassals in exchange for military service.

Finally, it summarizes Pope Urban II's call in 1095 for the Crusades to reclaim the Holy Land, with the goals of both reclaiming religious sites and expanding power and wealth for European nobles and the Church.
Design thinking lab final assignment
The student learned that following a systematic design thinking process is most effective for solving problems. This includes empathizing with users to understand their needs, defining the problem, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing prototypes with users through an iterative process. Specifically, the student realized the importance of empathy, creating simple prototypes, and getting direct feedback from users to develop the most useful solutions. Going forward, the student plans to apply this process at work by engaging users when making changes, at home to create harmony, and in life by understanding problems from others' perspectives to help find solutions.
Ancient Rome
Romulus and Remus founded Rome in 753 BC along the Tiber River. Rome eventually developed into a republic with a representative government structure and a senate.
