I tried to make that title into a pun. It didn’t work so well.
This week I’ve been teaching about Mayan religious beliefs as an example of an indigenous religion. I found this wonderful website from the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian to use.
Three reasons why it is fantastic:
1) It has several 3-5 minute video clips that are perfect for breaking up a lecture.
2) Each video has a PDF transcript–we used the creation story one as a reading in class, but also great for students with IEPs.
3) It has connections to a lot of great visual resources that you can use as well.
I definitely recommend checking it out!
