Tenochtitlán The ancient city of Tenochtitlán in Mexico was the capital of the Aztec Empire. The city was built on a five-square-mile island surrounded by Lake Texcoco and connected to the mainland by three man-made causeways. Tenochtitlán was one of the most advanced cities of its time. The streets were laid out in a grid pattern. Many of these streets were canals in which inhabitants traveled by canoe. Sophisticated aqueducts brought fresh water into the city. Barges collected waste, which was then turned into fertilizer. Floating gardens along the island’s shoreline supplied not only beauty but extra space for growing food. In 1500, the city’s population reached 300,000, making it larger than any city in Europe. The word INHABITANTS means ______________ as it is used here.

people or animals who live in a place

Dorito Lite Poff was adopted from the animal shelter in June of 2010. Who knows what his name was before he came to live with us, but we call him Rito. He seems to like it. He’s fairly calm so far as little dogs go, but he is protective and very, very fast. His estimated age is fourteen, which is old for a dog, but he can run like the wind. He has never chewed up toys that do not belong to him, but he has been known to flip over his food and water in spite when left alone for too long. He rarely has accidents in the house, but when he does, he likes to go in the actual bathroom. Perhaps he thinks he is human. He loves to nap next to me on the couch, and he enjoys a good back rub. He does not, however, enjoy baths. Every time I give him a bath, he looks at me as if I have betrayed some sacred trust. Even so, he is loyal and still loves me. We love him right back. Why is Rito's age estimated?

Since he was adopted from a shelter, his exact age is unknown.

It is not appropriate to mention his exact age.

Spirit week goes digital William Fleming's lip dub video considered a success for homecoming. Sabrina Fuller | William Fleming High School Hundreds of students and teachers from William Fleming High School concluded spirit week this month with an experiment that seemed crazy but memorable. They recorded their own version of a video to the song "Firework" by pop singer Katy Perry, with many of them dancing and lip-syncing to the song. Teacher Dave Spangler wanted to make the video as a project for his photography and digital media class, he said. He started organizing it during the summer when he discovered what are called "lip dub" videos, which students from schools across the country have uploaded onto YouTube since at least 2006. Spangler got authorization in September from Principal Gene Jones to record the video through the school to perhaps increase student involvement during spirit week, Spangler said. Student clubs and sports teams requested part of the action. Spangler used one word many times in describing the project: exciting. "The kids are excited, the faculty is excited," Spangler said before the recording. The video was filmed at the end of Homecoming Spirit Week, when school spirit was at its peak. It was recorded in one take. The first showing was Oct. 8, the school's Homecoming night. The auditorium was full, and after the video was screened, students, teachers and staff members cheered. With such a positive response, Spangler said, the lip dub could become an annual event. "I will never forget how much school spirit we had that day," senior Dewayne Shreffler said. What is a LIPDUB video?

a video showing people lip-syncing to a song

a type of dance that was popular in 2010
