Map of Mesopotamia

ELO #1 - I can analyze how the geography of the area shaped early development of Mesopotamia.

Today, students started with a question of the day.  What is a nomad? a group of people that travel from place to place following their food source.  We also review the seven characteristics of a civilization: government, stable food supply, religion, writing, advances in technology, culture, and social structure.  Next, students participated in a brain break that challenges their brain hemispheres.  Finally, students received directions on how to complete a map of the Middle East and Mesopotamia. This map will be completed tomorrow (Friday) in class.
