The last few days we have been working on chapter 5: Ancient Sumer. We are trying to prove whether or not Sumer was in fact a civilization. Students are looking at artifacts, reading the chapter and completing the notes with their partner. Here are their reading notes for the chapter:

These notes will be checked later this week when they take their test on Thursday. CHAPTER 4-5 TEST WILL BE ON THURSDAY THIS WEEK! I will give out a study guide later this week for them to work on.

Last week we finished chapter 4. We took the quiz on it and I checked their reading notes. Here are the notes:

On the bottom of the 2nd page of the notes, you will see the assignment called ‘Processing’. This is an assignment that is due tomorrow, Wednesday. They are to make a real-estate advertisement to encourage someone to move to a Sumerian city-state.

Friday their chapter 4 ID was due. They ONLY had to do the definition and the picture to receive points. Here is the ID (again, only definition and picture):

Monday we started Chapter 5: Ancient Sumer. We will continue this chapter until next week.

Their chapter 3 essays, the Three Paragraph Assignment, will be on the 2nd card-marking. Unfortunately I was not able to finish grading those in time to be on the first…my apologies. So their grade they see now on student connect will be their grade for the 1st CM.

Thank you
