Learning Goal: I will be able to analyze how the geography shaped development of Mesopotamian culture.
QOD - Why did Mesopotamia build their city-states between the rivers?
- it is a desert landscape
- water source for irrigation
- travel
Today, students started to analyze the geography of Mesopotamia through their QOD. Next, students brainstormed possible characteristics of a civilization. Finally, students began a graphic organizer to understand the seven characteristics, which will be an on-going theme this year.
1. Stable food supply
2. Social structure
3. Government
4. Religion
5. Culture/Arts
6. Technology
7. Writing/Language
Reminder: Students will check their scavenger hunt assignment in class tomorrow (9/4)
