Activities on
Ecuador
1.
Engineering
Smithsonian magazine declares that the Incas were the earliest and
greatest engineers. No lesson here, but lots of information.
2.
Science
If you are particularly interested in the Galapagos, I researched
helpful links
when I painted murals in the islands.
3. Geography As in many parts of the world, the rights of indigenous people are both important and controversial. Many people in Ecuador still speak Quechua, the language of the Incas, as well as other Amerindian languages. The lesson by PBS introduces students to some of the issues.
4. Art I always like to see what Princeton's Incredible Art Department offers in art activities. This lesson on Inca masks looks interesting. I would prefer a little more information of the steps of the process, but it has potential.
5. Literature There are several primary books about llamas including Your Mama a Llama, Llama Llama Red Pajama, and Llama Llama Home with Mama. For a variety of ideas that could be incorporated with any of the books, check out this link.
