Civilizations of Central America

On Friday 6th, Mar. I was absent due to a sudden illness and there was a substitute. If you were also absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) These are the instructions left for the sub

First:

        Textbooks should be under the desks, if more are needed they are located on the counter by the map. Have each student take out two blank pieces of paper and turn to Chapter 11 Section 2 (page 372). Have them read this section and create 16 questions that are at least one sentence in length and require an answer that is at least 1-2 sentences in length. They should make their questions on one piece of paper and put the answers on the second piece of paper . Give them approximately 25-30 mins to work on that assignment. If the majority need more time to finish it and they are working good in your judgment, you may give them more time as needed. Tell them that this assignment will be due next time.  IMPORTANT: If not everyone finishes and there are just a handful of people left, go ahead and move. DON’T SPEND ALL CLASS ON THIS!

Second:

       When finished, have each student take out a third blank piece of paper and have them watch the video Ancient Maya. They should watch the episode and take at least 25 significant notes on what they learn about him. With about 5-10 mins left of class stop the video and have them use the notes to write a minimum 1/2  page summary about what they learned as if they were explaining this video to someone who knew nothing about him. Remind them this will be due next time.

IMPORTANT: Since the video will not upload I would like you to do some self research and write a 1 page description or summary of ancient Mayan civilization in Central America. Include information on art, religion, government, social class, cities, and writing systems.

Thanks.
