Code the text for the Main Idea (M.I) and Supporting Details.
Aztec Achievements: Chewing Gum Synthesis: Sum up the main idea in
your own words here:
Chewing gum - the Aztecs were the first to
notice that the sap of the plant or the thick
milky liquid of the sapodilla tree could be
chewed and quickly hardened into a
chewable gum. The liquid was referred to as
"chicle", and commonly used by the
commoner of the Aztecs society. Although
the Spanish didn’t really have much use for it and quickly
destroyed the trading routes by which the Aztecs used to bring
i n the sap.

Aztec Achievements: Popcorn Synthesis: Sum up the main idea in

your own words here:
Popcorn - Yes, that’s right!
Although this was around way
before the Aztecs, it’s the Aztecs
who bought it to the attention of
the Spanish. The popped corn
was eaten along with being an
ornament of the headdresses of
the nobility as well as the
headdresses of the priests and
Tlaloc, the god of maize and
fertility.

Aztec Achievements: Chocolate Synthesis: Sum up the main idea in

your own words here:
Chocolate - An all time favorite! The
Aztecs are remembered for discovering
how to grind the cocoa beans to remove
the sweet sap for drinking. Chocolate was
very expensive in the Aztec culture as it
was used as currency or money. The Aztecs
called it a gift for the gods and it was used during
the sacrifices and religious ceremonies. They also made a
drink called xocoatl (ho-cat) which was a chocolate drink
made from cocoa beans, corn flour, water and chilies that was
only given to the noble classes. (It probably tasted like a spicy
cup of hot chocolate).

How did the Aztecs influence food in Western Civilization ( The Americas and Europe)?
