These are the instructional resources I have generated. There are individual fact sheets as well as instructional units. These sections consist of lesson materials for students related to the Maya: their land, their culture and their natural environment. The lessons contained herein are intended for secondary students in middle and high schools. This project is not intended as new research on the Maya. Instead, it is a compilation of available resources made accessible for today's youth. Research and data from disparate sources have been distilled into discrete units for helping students understand the Maya and their world. This project is intended to introduce students to the fascinating world of the Maya and help them develop interest in and respect for this vital, influential culture.

Lesson components can be used together as an entire unit, individually as needed, or as differentiated activities for groups within your classroom. Access to other resources is recommended to supplement this instructional unit, especially internet access. Some resources have been translated into Spanish. A list of resources accompanies each unit. These are resources which were used in developing this project. You are encouraged to use these resources as well to seek additional information on any of the topics presented herein.
