Today in class I introduced the new chapter on Ancient Sumer. In the chapter we will learn about what makes a society ‘civilized.’ We did a preview activity where they had to discuss a quotation saying “Modern humans are not civilized anymore.” They had to agree or disagree with that statement and state what characteristics make a society civilized, and then shared with classmates. We then read section 1 in chapter 5.
Homework:
Paragraph on personal artifacts is due tomorrow (from Friday). Last page of ch 4 reading notes is the assignment.
Illustrated dictionary for chapter 5 is ALSO due tomorrow!!
Thank you
