Happy Thursday!
10/24 Quick Write:
The first task we have today is to finish our bubble map. Remember, on the thinking map you must include the following:
- [in the round bubble] Write your own definition of each characteristic (after we compile a list of all of your ideas on the board).
- [in the cloud-bubble] Write or draw how each characteristic works or looks today.
When we are done with the Bubble Map, we will progress to the SUMMATIVE activity (remember… this is 90% of your grade). Instead of having you write an essay or CER, or take a test, you will create a traveling advertisement of Sumer.
In essence, you will show me what you have learned about the characteristics of civilizations by creating a page-sized ad trying to convince ancient people to move or visit Ancient Sumer. Use four of the seven characteristics of a civilization as persuasive reasons to go to Sumer. You will follow the instructions below.
Remember: since this is a summative grade, you need to demonstrate to me you have a proficient and clear understanding of how Sumer was a civilization (and what a civilization is in general).
We will continue this summative assignment tomorrow.
