The Incas settled in what it is now Peru, Ecuador, the south of Colombia, the west of
Bolivia, northeast of Argentina and Chile down to the Maule River. They developed
on the Andes Mountain Range. The capital of the empire was Cusco.
The capital city of Cusco was the heart of the Inca Empire. It was a beautiful city
in the Andes Mountains. There were palaces, temples, schools, houses, and
government buildings.
The Empire was known as Tahuantinsuyo. It meant the four divisions of the world.
They were organized into four territories called “suyu”. In order to divide the four
territories they used the cardinal points, being Cusco the centre of the Empire.

Since the Inca territory was so big, they needed roads to connect the Empire. All
the roads started from Cusco, the centre of the Empire and connected all the
suyus. It was used mainly by “Chasquis” or mailmen, who ran to deliver the
message. It was also used by the army, people in charge of repairing the roads and
bridge guards.

As we have studied before, all children have rights. For example: 1) having a name,
2)getting education, 3)being heard no matter their sex, race, religion or age. But
sometimes these rights are not respected, for example, when one boy is bullied
because he thinks differently.
To avoid these kinds of situations, country authorities, your teachers, parents and
even you, must protect your rights.

UNIT 7
Solving problems
Learning Goals:
Although the objective of community life is satisfying the needs of its members,
living together is not always harmonious. Many times the interactions between
people cause conflicts which appear from different interests or needs. Conflicts are
a part of everyday life and they are not necessarily something negative. Instead,
they can represent an opportunity to start dialogue and come to an agreement.

Get in groups of 4 and organise a role-play.

In your role-play you must clearly show the problem and its solutions. You must
include at least two solutions for your conflict. All group members must participate.
When we are in a school we are part of a community. When you are part of a
community you should respect everyone around you so that they can respect you.

2
your class activities. Write the ideas in the space below.

Example: in oral reports, you need to pay attention, listen to your classmates and
show interest by asking questions.
Now get in groups, and create a poster. Each person in your group writes the
best way to contribute to those activities. Don’t forget to include pictures or
drawings.
