Maya Daily Life Activity
Graphic Arts

For this activity you will use what you know from your Maya Daily Life reading, as well as what you can learn from doing good, focused online research to complete the attached graphic organizer.

Pay attention to what information is being asked for in the top row (explained below) and complete all of the boxes for each type of Maya art listed in the column to the left.

Steps to Success:
​On this exercise, you will combine your search skills with your observational abilities to interpret or infer what a piece of Maya art tells us about Maya daily life. Notice that for each piece of Maya art listed in the left-hand column you have several tasks to complete.
  1. Find a picture or pictures of the type of art requested in the left-hand column and paste them into the corresponding box on the table. NOTE that I want you to keep track of the online resources you use for both pictures and information in the far-right column. Do this as you work.
  2. Use your own words to describe what you see in the Maya artwork you posted in Column 1.
  3. Use either the lesson's reading or online resources to help you state what your description of the item tells us about Maya daily life. Be a strong writer. Use good details to support your interpretation of the art. NOTE that I want you to keep track of the online resources you use for both pictures and information in the far-right column. Do this as you work.
  4. Sometimes research is exactly that - Re-Search. You may not find what you are looking for with your first search. Keep track of successful search terms for both images and information. 
  5. After you have found success with your search, track the websites from which you gathered information to complete this graphic organizer.
