DO NOW: Using the outline that you constructed last week, start to fill in the outline with quotes/paraphrases that you have found during the last couple weeks of research. Email me your results.

Essential Questions

• How do we start to turn an outline into a paper?
• How do I glean notes from the internet?

HW: Write a rough draft of ONE body paragraph for your paper. This paragraph should be between 150-200 words.

Today, you will use websites to get information for your paper. The expectation is that you are looking at these sites and jotting down notes on them. You will turn in these notes with the paper you turn in after break.

Select one of the following sites are as follows:

http://www.ancientscripts.com/maya.html For this site, you will simply read what is there.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mayacode/ For this site, I would like you to focus on the following sections, A Masterpiece Revealed, Decode Stella 3, and Map of the Maya World.
