Before Watching
-
The team investigating the Zoque ruins includes a variety of
skilled professionals who interpret artifacts and make
conjectures about the people who left them. Team members,
however, do not always agree. As students watch, have them take
notes on the artifacts collected and interpretations made about
each. Students should note the following: the artifact found;
which expert made conclusions about the artifact; and the
expert's opinion(s). Have students pay attention to each
expert's area of specialization and how this may affect an
interpretation.
After Watching
-
Have students review their notes on the interpretations of Zoque
artifacts. When experts' opinions differed, which
interpretations did students agree with and why? What other
evidence might add greater certainty to the interpretations?
What other interpretations might be drawn from the same
evidence?
