Americas BEFORE Columbus Ruined It (2-25-15)

You picked up two handouts today:

• Map: Early Civilizations in the Americas (Chapter 15 red/11 blue)
• Treaty of Tordesillas & Population Decline

Please use the maps below to label & color your map.  Yes, I walked you through this one in about 10 minutes so you'd have time to do other things!

• Shorten some names:  Pacific, Miss, Amazon, Rockies, Andes, Yucatan, Caribbean, Appalachians
• DO NOT LABEL: Valley of Mexico, Tucano, Mataeao, Araucanian, Arawak, Copan, Mesa Verde, Cuzcu)
• Only use color for Aztec, Maya, and Inca empires (include a key)
• Place a star on Lake Titicaca (yes, "boob poop" in a terrible translation)
• Make sure you answer the questions!

WIL 3.4 Cause & Effect

Is the "before" that caused a change more important than the "after" effects that resulted?  Which is more important to know & study?
