Mayan+Trading

On a sheet of paper to submit, you are to write 2-3 paragraphs on different aspects of Mayan trading

1. Why did Mayan cities trade with one another? Why was it important for trade ambassadors to be honest with one another? 2. Why was it important for cities to acquire different trade valuables? What do you think they thought would happen if they did not acquire the necessary goods? 3. What was difficult about obtaining the goods you were after? When did you feel you had the advantage in trading with other cities? When did you feel frustrated? 4. When it came to sacrificing the trade goods they acquired, how important was it for each city to have a worthy sacrifice for the rain god, Chac?

Make sure you explain all of your views. This is not an essay, but you should use elements of essay writing such as a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence for each paragraph. When you are finished, reread your writing.
