Before You Begin
Start off your unit by sharing the pull-out Masterpiece Poster, "Maya Culture," from the center of this issue. Ask students to come up in pairs to study and discuss the images of ancient Maya artifacts, which include jewelry, a mask, statues, and even household tools. The poster also shows one of the many great stone temples that the Maya built. Next, ask students: "What do you know about the Maya? How do you think they created these artifacts?" Then launch into your Maya study with the following activities, nearly all of which correspond to an artifact pictured on the poster.
