The learning target: I can write and perform a skit about the main reasons for the fall of the mayan.
One of the reasons that the Mayan civilization fell was that the water was contaminated, and also that there was not enough do to deforestation. I contributed to the group by falling on my head very hard and getting a migraine.
For this exhibition our main idea was to create mini models of artifacts for our parents to dig up. in the process it took a lot of focus, research, and sculpting. And we had to write summaries of the artifacts that we had created, along with finding good reference images to help us in creating, sculpting, and painting our artifacts. I created a bullet to represent the guns the Spanish used to defeat the Aztecs, and a duck pot to represent the pottery that the Aztecs used. We also made movie posters in digital media to represent if we were to make a movie out of the Aztecs fighting the Spanish. We faced a lot of challenges in this project, such as how the clay kept cracking and breaking. I feel that the habit of heart and mind we used the most in the project was effort because we had to use a lot of effort to get the research done, make the artifacts, posters, etc.
