Inquiry into Mesopotamian gods and goddesses

6th grade researched into the different gods and goddesses that were worshipped in ancient Mesopotamia.  Many of the students quickly began seeing connections to agriculture and how the focus of belief in certain deities seems to connect directly to the successfulness or failure of crop yields.  Students also researched Egyptian gods and goddesses and connected similarities to the gods and goddesses of Mesopotamia.  Each student made a short video clip expressing which god or goddess they researched and what made that deity important to the people of Mesopotamia.
