Today in class we discussed the Babylonian Empire and read and completed notes for sections 4-5 in chapter 6. Students missing today need to have those notes completed.
Today I gave students their sheet for the Code of Hammurabi project, which also has the rubric on it as well. Students are to create a poster for the project that has 4 things on it: 1) a summary of the code, 2) a summary of their thoughts on the laws, 3) create a list of their own laws if they were leader of a school, and 4) a picture
On the attachment explains everything they need on the poster. Also, it has the overview sheet about the Code of Hammurabi with some actual laws from the code. We will read the overview tomorrow in class.
Extra Credit:
The extra credit on the Sumerian city-state is due on Friday. Some students have already turned in their 3-d models of a city-state and also sent a video of their work from the game Minecraft online. Here is an example of what some students have done already for the project
