 Latin American Advances and Conquests –  An i-Movie presentation

Latin America, including Central America, South America and the Caribbean islands, has witnessed many explorations and civilizations. Explorers from other countries have influenced the Latin American region with their cultures, while Native civilizations (such as the Aztec, Inca, and Mayans) struggled to maintain their heritage and accomplishments. Latin America today is a result of the combination of these various cultures over centuries of change.

For this project, students will create a movie that takes place in the ancient Latin American region. The plot of the movie may include a mystery involving a missing artifact, the adventure of a modern day character time traveling to ancient Latin America, or a search for a secret treasure that is hidden in Latin America. The stories will describe the culture of the designated region and what the characters encounter as they move throughout the countryside and cities. The details must include the five themes of geography, including location, region, place, human environment / interaction and movement.

The project will be presented in an iMovie, which the students will record during class.
