Was Mesopotamia a Civilization?

Today we learned about the elements of civilizations.  Does Mesopotamia have proof of these elements?
Follow this link, Mesopotamia is also called the Near East, to learn about Mesopotamia.



OPTIONAL: Advance preparation for Tuesday's in class task:
Create your own graphic organizer on which you identify each element and give "proof." You may draw, write, or use a combination of both. Please DO NOT cut and paste.



For example, the picture above "proves" the element of a writing system. Of course, you will want to write down the name of the writing system.

Jadis in London


                           Buckingham Palace                                               Houses of Parliment                                         













Do you think, if you were a Londoner, you would ignore Jadis as she came through the streets?  What do you think you might say to your walking companions?

MN Digory and His Uncle "Essential Gestures"






Besides Dilpreet's vocals and having fun, what made this ESSENTIAL GESTURE  a "meaningful" activity? In other words, how might it help you in having a deeper or better understanding of the novel?  What did you think of the experience, and why?  Just a couple of sentences is a fine response.  This is HOMEWORK.
