Your assignment today is to research and create a piece of a timeline about one Ancient Mesopotamian society or kingdom!
Your timeline piece should include:
-Name of Society/Kingdom
-Dates of Existence (beginning-end)
-Rise of the society/kingdom, including:
How they came to power/Who they defeated (if they defeated anyone) to become powerful
-Inventions and accomplishments/importance of their society (why are we still learning about them today) No less than 5 -- name + explain!!
-Important Leader(s) (name and give information about at least one)
-Fall of the society/kingdom, including:
How they lost power/Who they were defeated by (if they were defeated by anyone)
-Map of Ancient Mesopotamia with the area covered by the society/kingdom clearly colored in
You may find the following websites helpful while doing your research:
http://mesopotamia.lib.uchicago.edu/
http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/menu.html
http://mesopotamia.mrdonn.org/
You may also use a basic Google search to find the information. Please try to find the answers someplace other than Wikipedia...its information is not always reliable. If you are stuck, see if the links at the bottom of the Wikipedia page can help you before you use the Wikipedia site itself.
Timeline pages with ALL the information listed above will be due in class on Thursday, September 1.
Happy Hunting! :)
