Learning Goal: I will be able to describe how technology, culture and arts relate to the Mesopotamian civilization.
QOD - Draw and label an invention or technology from Mesopotamia.
The wheel
Iron tools and weapons
cuneiform
irrigation
Base-60
Today, students discussed how technology and the other seven characteristics of a civilization relate to Mesopotamia. It is important that students understand that a Ziggurat is connected to Religion and Irrigation is connected to Stable Food Supply. Next, students analyzed primary documents containing some of Hammurabi's laws. Students judged whether the laws were fair or not. This will help prepare students for the essay question about the law code.
