Students will be able to locate the geographic area inhabited by the ancient Maya (southeastern Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador).

Students will compare and contrast ancient Maya monumental architecture with that of other societies, past and present.

Students will be able to read and write the numbers 0, 1, and 5 (and possibly beyond) in the Maya base-20 number system.

Students will be able to recognize ancient Maya symbols and imagery associated with Maya royalty, city-states, and both the natural and supernatural worlds.

Students will be able to describe the structure of ancient Maya society and the relationships between city-states.

I double-majored in Anthropology and Archaeology at Brown University, where I took several courses related to the ancient Maya and Mesoamerica, including two semesters of Ancient Maya Writing, Mesoamerican Archaeology, The Classic Maya, and an independent study on the use of quatrefoils in ancient Maya art.

評価が提供されます
Students are assessed informally throughout class. I embed multiple-choice or true/false questions throughout my presentation to review important concepts and check for understanding. I also provide handouts and graphic organizers for students to take note of information learned and may ask students to share what they've written or drawn.
