BHP Team
This activity, created by Louisiana-based BHP teacher Bridgette O’Connor, gets students closely examining the artifacts and symbols of the ancient civilization Teotihuacan (which existed from around 100 BCE to 550 CE in what is today Central Mexico). Students document the conditions surrounding the discovery of certain artifacts, explain how these items teach us about life in Teotihuacan, and draw comparisons to symbols from other urban spaces of past and present. It is part of a month-long focus on Teotihuacan.
