Aztec+Journal

This a three-part assignment. You will use the notes (part I) you recorded in class to complete part II.

Part II - Aztec Journal

Imagine you are a Tlaxcalan in 1500 who has spent a month spying on and learning about Aztec society. You will write and illustrate a journal based on what you have experienced and seen while spying on the Aztec. Since you are a spy, you need to include in your writing details of how you moved around without being discovered. For some aspects you might mention two or three details, but others may have one or two because you felt insecure and needed to shorten your spying that day. Follow these guidelines to create your journal:

1. Give your journal a title - this should be creative, not something bland like "Aztec Journal" 2. Write your journal for your fellow Tlaxcalans, who know little about Aztec daily life. 3. Format your account of Aztec daily life like a journal. Each entry should be __dated__ and should describe __some aspect(s)__ of Aztec daily life. Use your **//creativity and imagination//** to explain how you learned about the particular aspect(s) of Aztec life. 4. Include a sketch or drawing with each entry to help the reader better understand the topic described in the journal. You may use the sketch from the handouts. 5. Include references to at least __four__ different aspects of Aztec daily life in your journal. References means you have to use or mention, but you don't have to cite or provide further documentation. Just use your notes to decide what to use. 6. Make your journal at least one full page in length. Type your final draft. You may use creative fonts so it looks more handwritten.

Remember, you are a spy so be sure to include elements of not being discovered when writing your journal.
