Aztec Mythology Creation Story Reading Comprehension Passage Middle School & Up

Practise middle school reading skills while learning about world mythology with a culturally-sustaining approach. This is yet another creation myth (in addition to my Creation Myth bundle), this time from the Aztec people of Mesoamerica. This is a great story with themes around learning from mistakes, striving for excellence, revenge, and resolution. In this lesson, students get a factsheet about Aztec civilisation, read a story, and practice reading skills at 3 levels. Perfect as a supplement to diversify your mythology unit or a sub plan for upper elementary, middle or lower high school. This is the Aztec mythology creation story explained in an engaging, interactive reading lesson with a professionally-commissioned version of the story particularly for middle schoolers.
