White Shirt Production: Fabulous Four


The Fabulous Four of Mesopotamia from Dan Klumper on Vimeo.
Mesopotamia, being the first civilization of the world, had the unique opportunity to invent many things. A lot of "firsts" occurred in Mesopotamia, which you will see in this third White Shirt Production called: "The Fabulous Four." What you will be watching is NOT how the inventions actually came to be, but, it will show you how important each one is. All four inventions of the Fabulous Four are used everyday in our world. For this video, you have 3 tasks. See below.
Task #1: Which of the four inventions do you think is the MOST important in our world?

  28. I think the most important would either be writing or the wheel, but i think its the wheel. why i tink its the wheel is because we have to travel to different places and go to work on time. If we didnt have it we would have to walk and we would be late and if we had to travel on a plane but on a plane they have wheels so we would still have to walk and be pooped out.
