Debunk – to put down by exposing false and exaggerated claimsPronunciation for Word

Alright, what is your first question for our
suitor?
Suitors, I am looking for a civilization that
really stands out from the rest. Tell me what you consider your best
attribute?
![Page 8: Bell-Ringer: Please pick up your notebook and the vocab acquisition assignment from the back table. Take a moment to copy down the word of the day and](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649ea15503460f94ba4f3e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Well, I am original.
Everyone else seems to steal my swag. All
of their cultures were borrowed from
mine.
Well, most people compliment me on my intelligence. I am super smart in math, science, and
always very punctual.
People fear me. You know, in
the, I’m intimidatingly
confident kind of way. My
reputation usually precedes
me.
![Page 9: Bell-Ringer: Please pick up your notebook and the vocab acquisition assignment from the back table. Take a moment to copy down the word of the day and](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649ea15503460f94ba4f3e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So contestant, what is your next question?
Well, suitors, I am always attracted to a
civilization that is stable. Tell me what makes you a stable
place to live.
![Page 10: Bell-Ringer: Please pick up your notebook and the vocab acquisition assignment from the back table. Take a moment to copy down the word of the day and](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649ea15503460f94ba4f3e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Generally speaking, I am considered the
most successful
early agricultural
civilization in the Americas.
We have survived off of
maize for ages.
Of course we farm, but our stability comes from a
diverse economy. We are heavily connected to
regional trade. Our neighbors respect
us.
Everyone knows that only a strong
military can provide stability. We have, by far, the most feared military in the
region.

Let’s step things up a bit. Contestant, can you throw our
suitors a zinger this time?
Nobody is perfect, suitors. But it is a huge
turn-off to me when people think they are.
Prove that you don’t by telling me your biggest
flaw.
![Page 12: Bell-Ringer: Please pick up your notebook and the vocab acquisition assignment from the back table. Take a moment to copy down the word of the day and](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649ea15503460f94ba4f3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Honestly, I don’t think we are good self-promoters. I guess our
record-keeping could have been more thorough?
Maybe we are just too focused on
cultural development? Or, can I just say we
were too appealing and got too big?
Ok, ok… maybe we could have been a little nicer to our neighbors. But
human sacrifice was just a nice way to keeping tribute payments lower.

Final question, contestant.
Well, suitors, you all seem great, but I need
to really distinguish each of you. Look
around at the other suitors and tell me what makes you
unique.
![Page 14: Bell-Ringer: Please pick up your notebook and the vocab acquisition assignment from the back table. Take a moment to copy down the word of the day and](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649ea15503460f94ba4f3e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We are truly self-made. We created and innovated
grand architecture, a
language, calendars, and cities without any outside influence.
We are, by far, the most rounded civilization. We
have an advanced culture, long-
distance trade, and still maintain a
successful military.
We are more than just tough guys.
We are remarkable engineers, our
capital is one of the biggest cities in the
entire world, and we offered the
most safety to our citizens.
