Hello, boys and girls! How are you?

Warm up

Background

The Mayan civilisation of the Yucutan Peninsula of south-east Mexico flourished during the period 250 CE and 900 CE. It is remembered for its writing system, astronomy, mathematics and the pyramidal structures built in its cities.

• Books closed. Ask: Do you have a favourite and a least favourite day of the week?

• Put students into pairs to ask and answer the question.

Encourage students to give reasons for their answers, e.g. Sunday is my least favourite day of the week because it is such a quiet day.

Practice

• Read out the four questions and then put students into pairs to answer them.

2 CD 9.2 Play the first part of the video for students to check their answers to Exercise 1.

Video script

Do you ever wake up and think, is today going to be a good day or a bad day? Well, the ancient Maya believed they could answer that question!

The Maya lived here, in parts of Mexico and Central America. They are famous for their complex calendars. Today, scientists study those calendars to try to understand the Mayans’ mysterious culture.

In Mayan cities, like Palenque, they closely watched the movement of the sun, moon, stars and planets. They built their kings’ tombs under rays of sunlight. And they waited for the moon to pass here above the palace before they got the crops out of the fields.

Their knowledge of the sun and moon helped them make their calendar. The calendar showed each day of the Mayan year. Each day had a symbol. The symbols showed good days and bad days.

This day, IMIX, was a good day. They planned to do important things, like planting, on these days. This day, CIMI, was a bad day. Its symbol was the closed eye of a dead person. Nothing important happened on these days.

The Maya also had a solar calendar. It had eighteen months of twenty days each; a total of 360 days. Then there were five bad days, a total of 365 days, just like our calendar. This Mayan temple of Kukulkan shows the importance of the solar calendar. It has 365 steps – one for each day of the solar year. So what do you think about the ancient Mayan calendar? Can we really say if tomorrow is going to be a good day or a bad day?
