Today we began our ABC's of Mesopotamia Rap.  Students worked on a worksheet labeled A thru Z and will write two lines of poetry for each letter and explain a certain word. 

Our example from class:  Assyrian Empire ruled by fear, they had a violent military with iron spears.  

Homework:  work on the rap for 20 minutes


tuesday, November 19

Today, we continued working on the ABC's rap and students were each assigned a letter to write 2 sentences about.  Remember the rules of this rap:
  1. Keep it simple
  2. Make it make sense
  3. Get your facts FIRST!!!
  4. Then, worry about rhyming it last
Lastly, each student will create a Google Slide that represents your letter, lists your lyric and has pictures.
