So, we worked on a Venn Diagram today. Students took it home, but they didn't actually have to do it for homework. The diagram will be handy when it comes to studying for the test. In fact, it's the first part of the review guide. They'll receive the second one tomorrow or Friday.
I made some pictures to help you with the diagram. And to help you study.
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Indus River Valley Civilization
Ancient Mesopotamia
Click on the pictures to enlarge them. ...Yes, these are basically the answers. Again, this would be one of the posts to come to if you want to study. I'll tag it as "Study 2013" that way if you type that in to the search bar in the upper left of the webpage, it will bring you right to this post. (Also, if I missed anything important for any of the civilizations, let me know either in class or in the comments.)
If you want the extra credit for reading and discussing this blog with an adult, have the adult quiz you over the various civilizations for about 3-5 minutes. Have them ask you what each item on the list means. Have them ask you which language goes with which civilization - NO PEEKING! Etc...
When you're done, write down the word "architecture" and then write a quick definition for that word. (If you don't know the definition, look it up. If you don't have a dictionary, google it. The adult can tell you, if that's easier - but you have to be the one to write it.) Then, write down an example of architecture for each of the 3 ancient civilizations. Have the adult you read the blog with sign the paper, and turn it in tomorrow.
We also wrote in cuneiform (SUMERIANS!) today. So, if you want to check out some pictures (and maybe a video) from that, feel free to keep scrolling. ...You might be in here.
Sumerians!
ReplyDeleteWell played. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is believed that the Cradle of Civilization could be one of the 5 places where the initial civilization actually began. This particular place is in Mesopotamia and many historical and archaeological experts assume that it was here that cultures then spread to other parts of the entire world as the original people residing here were nomads.
