Sixth Grade Work

This week in class we are learning about the Mesopotamians. We began to create a foldable with vocabulary:

• Cradle of Civilization
• fertility
• Fertile Crescent
• cuneiform
• Sumerians
• ziggurat

We will continue with the foldable tomorrow. We also began to fill out a map of the area, and will keep working on that tomorrow also.

We did start an assignment that needs to be turned in tomorrow. Students should draw a triangle that shows how the social classes were in Mesopotamia. Who was at the top? Who was in the middle? Who was at the bottom of their society?

There is information in section two of chapter one in the textbook. You can also find information here at Mr. Donn's site and here on the Land Between the Rivers site. Please also include illustrations on your picture.
