Today in class we discussed the ‘Reading further’ section in our books from pages 40-43. It’s about the excavation of the ancient city of Ur in Sumer. Students had to analyze artifacts and base conclusions about societies from the evidence of the artifacts given.
Homework will be the LAST PAGE on the reading notes. They need to list 5 things in their bedroom as a personal artifact. Then, they need to write a paragraph stating a conclusion that an archaeologist in the future would say about them, based only on those artifacts listed. The directions are listed on the sheet. Again, its the last page of the reading notes, page 8 (we did page 7 in class today). It only needs to be one paragraph. I changed the rubric score to 15, 10, and 5.
This will be due on Tuesday.
Monday we will begin chapter 5
Have a great weekend!
