Instructions for sub-day 9/7
Hey y'all, I'm sorry to miss work for two days in a row. I've had a fever all day, which means I'm contagious, and I don't want to get you guys sick. I expect to be back Friday. Here's the deal: I need you guys to move through some new material that I am not there to teach you. You've gotta teach yourself some stuff this time. You can do it, it's not that hard. The sub is there to help you figure stuff out if you want it.
- I need you to click this link and complete a reading on Mesopotamian civilizations because they're kind of a big deal to history. Notice that I said "civilizations?" That's because "Mesopotamia" wasn't a country or an empire - it was, and still is, a region. Over the course of about 2,500 years (which is over ten times longer than the United States has existed), several different kingdoms arose and they did a bunch of important stuff. The Sumerians were first and they invented city-states and the first ever form of writing, and they were the first to really understand how to do agriculture right. Then were the Akkadians who invented the first law code ever, then there were the Assyrians who were eventually conquered by the Persians. Anyway... I need you to read all of section two on Mesopotamian civilizations. Then I need you to take out a sheet of notebook paper, put your name on it, and answer these questions:
1) What were the four reasons river valleys were great places for Mesopotamian civilizations to develop?
2) Between what two rivers did the civilization of Sumer arise?
3) Why was it helpful to farmers for the rivers in Sumer to flood?
4) What is a city-state?
5) What is cuneiform?
6) The Epic of Gilgamesh is the world's oldest ______________. Fill in the blank.
7) What is an empire?
8) Why is Hammurabi's law code a big deal?
