1. Print the note cards and study month 5. You can find them here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3kWJfkqT0g (Aztecs)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6eBJjdca14 (Mayans)

As you finish each chapter and video make a blurb, doodle some notes or write up some bullet points -- any creative way you want to keep the highlights from the chapter in your commonplace book. I might ask to see your notes on Thursday, hint hint. 

BONUS: For $5 Vanbucks list each date you come across in your reading on your timeline. I'll count how many dates I come across and check your timelines so don't miss any :D 

Know and Understand:

Prepare a creative 3 minute presentation for us on a topic related to the Inca, Maya and Aztec people. Sign up HERE. Do NOT stand and talk to us-- prepare visual aids or share the information in a creative manner.  Ideas include pictures, art, music, 3-d creations, food, slideshows, dance, games (more ideas for creative presentations can be found HERE -- some of these are geared towards younger kids, but you guys are smart and I trust you will make good choices). 

Become/Serve:

Last month you wrote up one specific lesson you learned from the person you studied in ancient scriptures -- that write up is what you will be sharing with all of our families at our special fireside on 

March 8th. Now that you know you will be sharing your thoughts with the group you might want to review what you wrote, polish it if need be and practice sharing your thoughts so you'll be ready for the fireside.

If for some reason you can't find your write-up from last month, here was the assignment: 

- Summarize ONE specific lesson you learned from your person. What stands out to you the most? What lesson did they teach you that gives you strength or builds your testimony? How is that knowledge going to help you in your life? (Notice, I'm specifically looking for personal application)

Each of you should take no more than two minutes MAX to share your thoughts -- if you're worried yours will go too long then time yourself and whittle it down. 

Watch this 30 second video about scriptures. I LOVE this quote in the video. I know it's true and I hope you've felt it as you've dug deeper into the scriptures and studied the life of a person from ancient history these last 4 months.
