Social Studies 7

Today students who chose slideshows as their media were asked to present their inquiry projects.  While students were preparing, the rest of the class began watching a documentary on mummification:

Students were then given some time to barter their Mesopotamian goods.

Finally, we looked at p.88 in the textbook.  For homework, students were asked to look at the geography of Egypt in relation to Mesopotamia.  Students should consider 5 wonders about the similarities between the two cultures.
