The Inca: A Lost Society



The Inca: A lost society

Level - Intermediate and above


This is a reading lesson based on a text about Inca society. Reading can be a very solitary activity, but this lesson has been designed to maximise the amount of communication and interaction among the students, so that they work collaboratively and develop their own opinions about the content of the text. There are also a number of suggested follow ups.
