​Monday, november 6

Today, we continued work on our 5 Mesopotamian Empires by each group sharing out what they learned about each empire.  Each student presented the empire they became an "expert" on so that all the students had a better understanding of each empire.

Then, I explained the ABC's of Mesopotamia activity we will do this week.  Students will find a word for every letter in the alphabet from Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 and give a "strong sauce" sentence about it.  Some groups will choose to rhyme each line for extra credit and we'll record these as a podcast later in the week.

tuesday, november 7

We will work the entire period on the ABC's of Mesopotamia activity.  Today was the last day to finish but look to the right here under the Google Calendar for instructions on how to make a Video Slideshow from your recording and your Google Slide
