Line Of Inquiry: How Available Resources Allow For Development And Growth In Civilizations

Students have been inquiring into the earliest known human civilization, Mesopotamia. Friday we had a Breakout.EDU box, which led students on a series of investigations. Some of these investigations included calculating the volume of an ancient Ziggurat (temple), looking at primary sources, such as Hammurabi’s Code, as well as interpreting language written in Cuneiform (the earliest known language). Afterwards, created their very own clay tablets by writing an English translated version of cuneiform.
