YOUR TASK

You are going to write your name in Maya glyphs and decorate your name with things that represent you. Use the Maya alphabet resources to help you. Some of you might need to use the sounds and try and get as close to your name.

Once you have completed that, you will then need to design your own logogram to represent a word. Use the examples we have looked at to inspire you.
