The Illustrated POPOL VUH - illustrated by 6th Grade students
Read the Creation Myth of the Mayan people. Read about the creators (sky blue-green earth Plumed Serpent, and others) as they think, plan, and model creation. Read about the three attempts at making humans: out of clay, out of wood, and out of corn mixed with water.
