Firstly, there are five reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

• An Overview of the Aztec Empire
• Key Advancements of the Aztecs
• Emperor Itzcoatl
• Moctezuma II
• Hernan Cortes
• Religion in the Aztec Empire

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, a crossword and a wordsearch for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document.

Then, there are two biography writing units about Moctezuma II and Hernan Cortes. The units have been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Then, there is an informational writing unit about the Aztec Empire. The unit has again been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Finally, there is an opinion writing unit about who was the most influential figure from the Aztec era: Itzcoatl, Moctezuma II or Hernan Cortes. This unit has again been split into three or four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.

Good luck, I hope you find the resource useful!
