Activity Overview

There are many interesting Incan cities, sites, religious practices, and leaders that students could research for a poster project. This poster focuses on the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu!

Teachers can add multiple templates to the example to provide some structure, or direct students to the template page to pick for themselves.
