This PBS LearningMedia resource introduces students to the Mayan writing system, one of the most advanced in the ancient world. Through an engaging video and supporting materials, students will explore how the Maya used glyphs to record history, communicate ideas, and document daily life. The lesson includes discussion questions and activities encouraging students to analyze and create their own glyphs. Perfect for upper elementary and middle school classrooms, this resource brings history and language to life through interactive learning!

tag(s): mayans (32), mexico (46)

In the Classroom

Provide students with a chart of Mayan glyphs and their meanings. Then, give them a short "coded" message using real Mayan glyphs and challenge them to decode it. Doing this introduces them to the complexity of the Mayan writing system in a fun, interactive way. Hide "glyphs" around the classroom or school and have students work in teams to "excavate" and analyze their findings. They must hypothesize what the symbols might mean based on context clues and prior knowledge, like real archaeologists decoding ancient texts. In small groups or individually, students can create a mini "Maya codex" by folding paper in accordion style and illustrating a short story using glyphs and pictures. They can write a key to explain their symbols, like archaeologists do when deciphering ancient texts!

After introducing the AI prompt feature, have students create diagrams "on the fly" to organize information. They can design a mind map that outlines features of states or countries, then work in groups to research and present each feature. Students could also hold a brainstorming session using an interactive whiteboard or projector to build a shared organizer for a topic or story. Assign students to "map" out a chapter, short story, or historical event, visually showing key ideas and connections. Turn mapping into a creative challenge: students could color-code concepts to show what they understand, wonder about, and want to investigate further. Use this tool for literature activities, science processes, or social studies projects. Students can even create family trees, food pyramids, or life cycle charts, depending on the subject. Encourage students to collaborate online, building group mind maps or review charts before a test. For a fun extension, have groups map out a plotline for a story they invent or outline step-by-step processes like "how to solve an equation" or "how a law gets passed." Finally, challenge students to plan a future career or personal goal using a timeline or flowchart they design themselves.
