Essay for Diorama

Remember, your diorama MUST be accompanied by an essay of AT LEAST 3 paragraphs!
Here are the directions from your homework sheet:
 Using your notes from class and any extra research from the Internet, create an 3 - 4 paragraph essay to accompany your diorama project. Here is a suggested outline: 1 paragraph about the Mayan’s way of life (features of Mayan cities, society and agriculture), 1- 2 paragraph(s) about their art, writing, architecture and religion, and a paragraph describing your diorama (what you showed and why). 


FAQS: (Frequently Asked Questions)

"But Ms. Velez, what if I want to write more than 3 paragraphs?"
-Sure! Show me what you know! But make sure everything you state in your essay is a FACT that can be checked in a reliable source. This is a NON FICTION ESSAY so everything you write must be TRUE!

"If I don't do address the topics in the instructions, Will you take points off?"
-YES! I am telling you exactly what I want in the essay. If you do not include that information, your grade will reflect that. On the flip side; you give me MORE, I give you MORE (higher grade).

"Can I email you my essay when I complete it?"
-YES! If you take the time to type it up nice and neatly but for some reason can't print it, email it to me: ms.velez@yahoo.com. Just tell me in class so I check that email. I will print it for you for FREE FREE FREE! (I want you to do well!)

-Any other questions, I will answer in class. Remember: do your best work! :c)
