Peru And The Incredible Incas

Give your students the opportunity to review modern Peru with mapping and research activities and along with an intensive study of the Incas. To stimulate student interest, start with a short film, video or a few pictures. Brainstorm and list on a chart what students have learned from this brief introduction and viewing. Many of the research topics could be used at activity centres. Begin or end each session with student presentations of individual or small group activities. These presentations could include drama, stories, poems, songs, pictures, diagrams and information. These evaluations could be evaluated by the teacher and the class. Information sheets are included along with activities that focus on: research, arts and crafts, language development and drama. Enjoy studying the fascinating cultures and traditions of Peru and the Incredible Incas!

Describes the Inca civilization from before the days of the Spanish conquest to the present time.

The incredible Incas may have built South America's greatest civilisation, but they could be very icky indeed! The poor prisoners they pulled up their huge pyramids were likely to experience a very painful death. But things weren't much better for your average Inca. Find out... * How a bucket of stewed pee could make you beautiful * Why servants ate the emperor's hair * What happened in their legendary golden temples * What chilling fate awaited their child sacrifices The Incan Empire ruled 12 million people, but was conquered by 260 Spanish invaders - and a few germs. In fact, it was the llamas who really had it lucky... they got to wear earrings and drink beer! So would you rather be a lucky llama... or an incredible Inca? Erk!

Terry Deary's foul facts and Martin Brown's crafty cartoons combine to bring all those cunning conquistadors and terrific temples to life. With an Incan initiation game to play and a push-out lofty lord to dress.

Beautiful illustrations of the Inca Indians and their land.

Considered to be one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2019, Machu Picchu is a man-made structure situated in the Andes Mountains in Peru. One of the things that makes it so special is that even though it was built in the 1400s, it was not discovered until the early 1900s, giving it a long-lasting opportunity to keep its form and magnificence when it comes to architecture and engineering. This ancient citadel was built by the incredible Inca civilization many centuries ago.
