Estudios mexicanos: templos y teocallis (pirámides) del México antiguo (FLEX)

In this 4-week FLEX class, learners will learn all about Ancient Mexican Pyramids, known in Mexico as Templos or Teocallis. 
In these flex courses, there will be no live classes and you will be taking the classes at your own pace. We will use the Outschool classroom for communication weekly. Should any questions or concerns arise, don't hesitate to reach out via email throughout our course.

Recorded classes will consist of brief and fun slides, comprehension and recall questions by teacher, and short videos to view the Ancient Templos. Each class will include specifics about who constructed these ancient structures, what they were used for, how they relate to ancient beliefs and customs of Mesoamerican societies. 

We will learn about four different temples including: 

Templo Mayor en Tenochtitlan 
Templo de el Sol y La Luna en Teotihuacan
Templo de Kukulkán en Chichen Itza 
Cobá y Tulum en Yucatan 

Teacher will post weekly recording and materials by Monday 4PM PST.

After viewing the weekly course content, learners will have the option to complete a "3-3-3 comprehension sheet." This OPTIONAL comprehension activity asks learners to complete:  3 new vocabulary words, 3 concepts/facts and 3 questions posed by learner. Remember, you don't have to have the answers to these questions! They can be open ended questions that you create about the Templos/Pyramids.

Learners will learners will have the option to post their 3-3-3 sheet so that other enrolled learners can view, comment, engage and maybe even answer questions posed by peers. I will also include weekly word searches and fact sheet for each site and even some unique Loteria game (Mexican Bingo) about  two of the pyramids. 

Learners will have the option to to introduce themselves via the Outschool classroom with picture or video telling us a fun fact about themselves. Posting pictures or video of these activities will create a fun collaborative and community based classroom, but is totally optional :)
