The Mesopotamia Civilization Project

In class, you have been researching your civilization for the past few days. Our plan is to be in the Media Center for the next week or so. Use this checklist to see if you are on target...
  • Your group has assigned each person a set of topics to cover in the slide show.
  • You have notes from each day we were in the Media Center.
  • You have been recording which books or websites you used to gather information.
  • On NoodleTools, you have started creating a bibliography with Mrs. Vaccaro's help.
  • You are thinking about what you'll put on the slides you create for the presentation.
Keep a few things in mind: In order to earn full credit, you need to pass in all your notes, your bibliography, and have your part of the slide show done.

If you would like more information, here are some online resources:

Our classroom textbook World Studies: The Ancient World

Marshall Cavendish
World Book Encyclopedia
Sharpe Online Database
World History in Context (higher reading level)

You can also scroll down on this Blog to the following civilizations:
Sumerians
Assyrians
Babylonians
Israelites
Hittites
Persians
Phoenicians

  5. The bibliography should be printed NEXT WEEK. I'll show you how.

    You should ask Mrs. Vaccaro for help finding info about the Phoenicians tomorrow at the library.
