Literacy: The Mayans 1.   Our new history topic after half term will be The Mayans (250AD – 900AD). You should have completed your research last week, so this week’s homework is to begin making your information booklet. This can be typed, or handwritten, but the information must be in your own words, not copied.   Please include: - A brief introduction to where and when the Mayans lived. - What transport the Mayans used. - How the Mayans communicated eg. Writing, drama, ceremonies. - What it would have been like to live in the Mayan time.   Here are a few useful websites to get you started: http://www.ducksters.com/history/aztec_maya_inca.php http://www.mayankids.com/   Please remember to stay safe when searching online.   The booklet is due in after half term (24/2/17).
