Homework 9/17 A & B, 9/18 C, D, & E

Today we looked at the Codex Nuttal - a Meso-American collection of pictograms - pictures that tell a story.  We explored the use of pictograms in society today (emoji).  Students were asked to examine two panels of the Codex Nuttal and do the following: summarize each image, identify any common elements between the two images, and write what they believe the story is for each image.

Homework: Draw a series of pictograms of tonight's dinner.
