Civilised VS Uncivilised debate By Natalia!
Published 07/03/19, by Year FiveLast week we had the parents come in so we could persuade them that the Mayans were civilised or not.Me and my friend we chose civilised and we did a drama piece of how the Mayans made chocolate that's what I am going to teach you now. Firstly ground the coco beans into a paste the mix then add the chilli and mix really good you will see that you have hot chocolate but the best way to drink your hot chocolate is dipping a maize cake into the hot chocolate. I hope you have learnt how to make chocolate\hot chocolate YUMMY!

The reason I don’t think they were all civilised is because they had human and animal sacrifices.
