14. Inquire
• Significant Questions for Students
• How can the past truly affect our future?
• Do both the past and future have more in common than we
think?
• Events from the past tie into our modern times and shape our
future. Will this always be the case?
15. Creation
• Students will focus on the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans from the
Indigenous tribes of South/Central America.

certain tribe with modern day architecture that reflects those
original works.
16. Creation cont…
• Students will work in groups to complete the project as well as
write a 3-page paper on the dynamics of previous architecture
and its effect on modern day work.
• The final step will be to have students present their work to
their classmates and describe in detail the particular tribes
contributions to modern day architecture and its effect on
various cultures in the world today.
17. Reflect
• What new ideas do you have about the architecture that you
didn’t have before?
• How can we utilize the architecture from the past to help us
with new creations?
• Do you believe that our modern architecture will be used
moving forward into the future and will our architecture ever
be thought of as ancient? Why?
