LO: To be able to explain the religious beliefs of the Maya people

Remember to:

Understand how the Maya people worshipped

Name some of the main gods

Explain the importance of these gods to the Maya people

Vocabulary - here are some of the special words that will be used in the presentation today.

Sacrifice: the act of giving up something that is valuable to you in order to help someone else

Ritual: a series of things done in a special order.

Ceremonies: a formal event or act that involves rituals

Task You can print this as a worksheet to complete by downloading the file below, draw your own pictures of the gods and write out the information or just use the file to talk to someone at home about the work. If you feel like getting creative you could choose to display the information about the gods in a fun way, perhaps like these interactive fact files we did in class about Mexico.

Working sharing from today's lesson

EG chose Ixchel as her favourite god because she is the 'Mother of gods'.  Good choice!

TB chose Kimi as her favourite god because he looks interesting and ruled the underworld. Another good choice!

BL chose the sun god as her favourite because he is the least weird! The Maya did have some very unusual gods!

I loved seeing your self portraits last week, they were extremely impressive! This week we are going to look at some very famous self portraits and become art critics!

L/O: to evaluate self portraits of famous artists

I can remember to -

• think about how the portrait was made
• think about the perspective (point of view)
• talk about what makes the portrait special (what stands out)
• give my opinion with reasons

First watch the video to help you start to think about discussing the self portraits and then start on the task. I haven't included all of the pictures in the video as it wasn't as much fun to discuss them by myself but I have put all of the self portraits on the blog as a screen show so that you can browse through and choose your three favourites before starting on the task.

Please send in any work that you complete to the google form.

The worksheet for today's task can be found under the self portraits. Have fun and get critical!
