The students produced comics based on the Aztec, Maya and Incan cultures.

The comics depict the life and times of the Aztec, Maya and Incan people. Humor is of course a positive attribute in a comic, but not all comics need to be "funny". For example, political cartoons are often serious.

The information for each comic came from:

• student reading and research (books, encyclopedias, internet)
• teacher-read books and overhead transparencies
• notes taken by the students

Each student produced one comic for each "Component of Culture" listed below:

• Technology - tools, weapons, craft workers, etc.
• Recreation - sports & games
• Beliefs - religion (temples, sacrifices, rituals, myths, legends, holidays, etc.)
• Shelter/Housing
• Food - farming, hunting, fishing
• Warfare and Protection
• Economy - trade, jobs, money, etc.
• Education - schooling, reading, writing
