Humanities work

For Monday and Tuesday we are working on the following:

1. The Outsiders - Character sketches

2. Aztec Codex task

A codex is a series of drawings that pass on information about the life and times of a particular society.
Your assignment: recreate an authentic Aztec codex and write a report on it so that future sociologists don’t misinterpret it. 
Your codex should include information about:
lHow the Aztecs trade with other cultures
l3 different calpolli and how they lived
lHow social status was shown in the Aztec society
lHow people could move up in society
lDifferent forms of Aztec education

lRemember that the codex was a way of passing on information, not a form of art.  Keep your drawings realistic so that they pass on information to others.
 lYour written report should include information about where your codex was found (be creative) and then also information about what is happening in each picture.
