Child SacrificesKendall MacCurdy Emily Sargent Chloe Curry Sam McCall Tessa Hutchinson 1. We are doing a cross cultural comparison in the ancient societies of the Inca’s and the Aztecs on the topic of child sacrifice. 2. Description of data (e.g. what evidence will you use?) Pictures, articles, sites, blogs, and books. 3. We will be doing a cross-cultural approach with a small amount of an ethnographic background to inform the readers of the researched societies. 4. Tentative bibliography o 2 references for each group member (you can each use a maximum of one webpage if you think that a webpage would be appropriate for your topic) o 2-3 sentences annotation for each bibliographic entry stating what the source is and why you think it might be relevant 5. Mode of presentation (e.g. Wikipedia entry, on-line magazine, webpage, blog etc…) 4. Because the child sacrifices we are discussing are so far in the past the group does not believe there will be any ethical concerns. But because the topic of the magazine is quite graphic in nature we will put a disclaimer at the beginning of the magazine warning the reader of the content. 5.Annotated bibliographies Kendall MacCurdy Andrushko, Valerie A., Michele R.

The mode of presentation that the group has agreed upon is the online magazine. This way we can include some photos and give the reader a good background of the societies.
