每週 1 小時. Each lesson will include a brief handout (fill-in-the-blanks) to help summarize major points from the class. We review the answers at the beginning of the following class as a review. I can share additional resources between classes for students who want to learn more.評估
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.我們無法翻譯此文，請刷新頁面並再試一次。

美國 6 - 9 年級
Hello and welcome future Mayanists! In this course, we will travel through thousands of years of ancient Maya history, from their Preclassic origins through the Postclassic period, highlighting this magnificent civilization's art, architecture, writing, and achievements. We will pay special attention to the art and material culture of the ancient Maya by examining wall paintings, ceramics, and stone stelae and altars. Students will learn about the Maya writing and number systems and practice reading and writing some basic glyphs and symbols. Students will learn to recognize symbols associated with Maya royalty, city-states, and both the natural and supernatural worlds. By taking this course, students will have a deeper understanding of ancient Maya history as well as their intellectual and artistic advancements. They will also build their social studies vocabulary along with knowledge of words related to the ancient Maya and the field of archaeology more specifically. No prior knowledge is needed. My teaching style is conversational, collaborative, and encouraging. My goal is to motivate curiosity and enthusiasm about our subjects. I blend direct instruction with conversation, activities, and opportunities for students to apply what they learn. I like to show large images and ask students to make observations before sharing much information. I ask questions and challenge students to make connections and draw their own conclusions. I also encourage students to ask their own questions and be active participants in the learning process. I assess learning by asking open-ended questions and weaving pop quiz questions into the presentation.

Who Were the Ancient Maya and How Do We Know?
In our first week, we will introduce the ancient Maya civilization and its setting in Mexico and Central America. We will place the ancient Maya on a timeline of world history and recognize that millions of Maya people live today. We will discuss sources of information that teach us about the ancient Maya, including archaeological evidence, Maya texts (codices, monuments, and pottery), and accounts from the time of the Spanish Conquest and from modern-day Maya. 55 分鐘線上直播課
課 2:
The Earliest Maya
How did the Maya civilization come to be? We will travel back in time thousands of years to trace the early history of the Maya from hunter-gatherers to the development of permanent settlements and agriculture. We will explore some of the earliest Maya cities such as Kaminaljuyu, Nakbe, San Bartolo, and El Mirador, and examine evidence of their early political, religious, and economic institutions. 55 分鐘線上直播課
課 3:
Breaking the Maya Code
How did the ancient Maya keep records? What remains of their writing? How was it deciphered, and can we read it all now?
This week, we will examine the ancient Maya writing system, which is made of about 800 glyphs. The glyphs can represent both logograms and syllables, and the Maya liked to mix and match for artistic effect. After learning about the structure of Maya writing and its relatively recent advances in decipherment, students will write an approximation of their names in Mayan glyphs. 55 分鐘線上直播課
課 4:
The Maya Calendars and Number System
Did you know that the ancient Maya were one of the few civilizations with a symbol for zero? Did the ancient Maya really believe the world was going to end in 2012? This week, students will learn to read and write the symbols for zero, one, and five, which can be combined to make any possible number! Students will also learn about the ways that the ancient Maya recorded time, including the 365-day Haab' calendar, the 260-day Tzolkʼin ritual calendar, the calendar round, and the Long Count. 55 分鐘線上直播課
