Hope everyone had a good break!
Yesterday and today in class we talked about the Code of Hammurabi. These were an ancient form of laws from the Babylonian Empire in Mesopotamia that showed laws broken and punishments given. These laws are seen as quite barbaric by today’s standards, but they did help King Hammurabi unify his Empire.
Students will have to do a poster project about the Code of Hammurabi. Today I explain to them what the project will be. Attached is a sheet that has ALL of the information needed for the project. They must get their own poster, and it needs to be 12×18 in. If you have a poster larger than that, then measure out the length and cut it. This will be due Wednesday Dec. 9th. Attached is the assignment information, rubric, and overview reading sheet along with the actual code of laws.
Extra Credit is due by end of this week! I have already had some students turn in their projects.
