Used in lesson 17 as the capstone Culture Profile artifact and in lesson 18 as the World Cultures Fair display. The 5-section structure intentionally combines geographic, historical, innovative, and present-tense elements with a hard own-voice citation requirement. The 'Living Culture Today' section is the unit's most distinctive feature - it ensures present-tense framing is built into the artifact, not added as an afterthought.
Prompt
Write 4 sentences of a draft Andean Culture Profile using the Culture Profile Template (MG-12) frame. Start with 'The Quechua and Aymara peoples live in the high Andes.'
