What a Gift!

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What is considered a valuable gift? As the class will come to find out, what is considered a gift varies by time and location. After viewing images of a Mayan pot that depicts men giving cacao to the gods, learners research three different time periods. They create timelines that show how, depending on location, different items have changed in value over time.
