Homework

To prepare for the Experience Day, you will need to do some homework, just as you would do if you were an actual student.

For the homework for the minilecture on war and weaponry among the Ancient Maya, we ask you to watch the short video below and answer these three questions:

1. What kind of weapons are used by Chak Ek'?

2. According to the video, who are the characters waging war? 

3. What are some of the consequences of warfare that are shown in the video?
