Strengthening our Weaknesses GIVEAWAY

Tuesday is your Mesopotamia Test. Wednesday is Halloween. Survival Bracelets are popular. So, let's combine all three things to help us study. There are a couple topics on the Mesopotamia test that we have not covered as well as others. I feel we have covered the Events of Mesopotamia pretty well, but have not covered gods and goddesses and "people of Mesopotamia" very well. So, for this blog post, I am going to giveaway a Special Edition Halloween Survival Bracelet to encourage you to do this post and help strengthen our weaknesses. As usual, I will be drawing the names out of a bucket. So, in order to get you name in the bucket, you must complete the task for this post. 
Task: To get your name in the bucket, you must post a comment with one piece of information. Topics to choose from: Gods/goddesses, vocabulary words, Famous people of Mesopotamia, and items location on the map. Use the study guide and flashcards below to help you. 
DETAILS: 
-I will be giving away a bracelet to ONE BOY and ONE GIRL.
-You may enter your name in the bucket up to 10 TIMES, but each comment must be different.
-Names will be drawn Tuesday morning during 3rd period.
