Follow water, a road and a repeating sky. Keep visible detail, source evidence and your next question separate.

1. Water: Describe a boundary in the cenote photograph. Add one archaeological claim, its source and a detail the photograph cannot establish.

2. Road: Draw two labelled points for plaza and cenote, linked by a line. Explain that this is a reading diagram, not a scaled site plan; cite the INAH record.

3. Cycle: Separate one visible feature from a proposed astronomical explanation. Record observation dates and publication dates separately.

4. Compare: Choose another ancient city. Write one observation, one source link and a question about how water, public space or repeated seasons shaped its life.
