www.instantdisplay.co.uk The Aztec Tribe By Grant Himes
Introduction Niltze, I’m Cuauhtémoc, means falling eagle I’m living in Tenochtitlan As an Aztec with a seagull I got a family of four Now it’s 1494 And this… Is my tale
Journal Entry 1: A Day in the life of my tribe Includes: housing, food, clothes, and daily life
#1: My House Yawning. Oh, Niltze, didn’t notice you. Niltze means hi, by the way. I just woke up here, in my house. Do you like it? It’s made out of adobe and straw, with a dirt floor. The hole around my house is a trench. We built to keep rain out. I’m glad we have it because today, it looks like it will rain. Do you want to walk around the village? The really important people have plaster walls and a dirt floor! It’s sooo unfair. I’ll show you my normal clothes now. These make me kind of embarrassed. www.aztec-history.com Taken by me
#1: My Clothes Now, let’s see here, which tilma should I wear with my green loincloth. Oh, hi, didn’t see you there. I was deciding what I should wear. You know, us Aztecs only wear a loincloth and tilma, so I want to choose things that match. The women wear skirts and a short-sleeved shirt most of the time so our clothing isn’t that different from this America place you come from. Ringing. Time for breakfast!!
#1: Our Food Yum, nothing like the Aztec breakfast of porridge, flatcakes, fruit, and juice. I can’t wait for lunch. We’re having duck, maize(corn), cheese, and mom’s making cocoa!! You’ll really like it. Dad goes down to the lake with his bow and arrow and brings back a tasty duck. I know, let’s go pick some beans! We have to pick them now so that they can dry so we can cook them for dinner. Come on! www.savorsa.com tastespace.wordpress.com www.mexicolore.co.uk
#1: Daily Life Hey, guess what? Today when we played ullamaliztli, I scored 3 rayas! Oh, sorry. Ullamaliztli is a game, kind of like something called rudly, I think it’s called in America. There is a 9 lb. ball, and two teams can do whatever they want to try to get the ball through the hoop. You should read about it. Oh well, bye for now. news.nationalgeographic.com www.aztec-history.com (both pics)
Journal Entry 2:Geography of my Tribal Region Includes: Terrain, Ecosystems, and Common Plants and Animals
#2: Terrain There are lots of different terrains here in the Aztec region, but you have noticed I hope, that we are in the lowlands. There are also deserts, mountains, and valleys in the Aztec Empire. Tenochtitlan, the capital, is right on a lake. I could keep going on and on, but then we would get bored, and we wouldn’t want that, would we(I know I sound just like a teacher). www.museumofthecity.org
