Mesopotamia Geography Video and Map

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

Today, students started class by taking notes on a short video about the impact of the geography on Mesopotamia.  This concept will be important to understand for the test.   Students created a set of notes from the video to use as a resource.  *BrainBreak* Next, students had time to complete the ancient part of their Mesopotamia map, which is due on Tuesday.   All students completed three questions as an exit slip at the end of class.  
1.What two rivers irrigated Mesopotamia?
Tigris and Euphrates
2.Mesopotamia is located in what present-day country?
Iraq

3.Why do you think Nomads settled in Mesopotamia? Provide two reasons.
Fertile soil
Wheat
