Welcome to Mesopotamia!


We have reached our second unit of the year: Mesopotamia. I think you will discover two things as we go through the unit of Mesopotamia. #1: I think you will come to realize how very different Mesopotamia is/was from our previous unit, Stone Age. #2: I think you will discover how much impact Mesopotamia has had on our present times. Mesopotamia discovered things that that we still use directly in 2008. Definately forward thinking on their part. We will discover what exactly those discoveries and inventions were as we move throughout the unit.
I thought it would be fitting, at this time, to discuss a little bit together what we have seen on the "Mesopotamia in Lego's" movie so far. Let us ponder (think) what we have seen so far: Irrigation (getting water to areas that normally get water), the Wheel (help with moving heavy objects), Specialization(getting really good at one specific thing), and Food Surplus(having more crops than you need). Keeping those things in mind and keeping in mind what we discussed after watching the "Mesopotamia in Lego's movie", respond to the following:
1. What is irrigation and how did it help the Mesopotamians?
2. Is irrigation still used today? How? Give specific examples.
3. How did the wheel help Mesopotamia?
4. How is the wheel used today? Give 4 specific examples of things that have wheels.
5. Specialization-Getting good at one specific thing. What do you think were some things people Specialized in during Mesopotamia?
6. What do people specialize in today? Give specific answers.
7. What positive effect did Food Surplus have on Mesopotamia?

I appreciate your time and effort on the Blog. You, the Student, makes the Blog what it is. So, Thank you. I firmly believe, as we enter October, we are definately on our way to accomplishing one of our goals this year--to become a Master Blogger.

    Yes irragation is used today,when you water your grass in ur yard. Even just getting water into your house by using a sink is irragation.
    The wheel was used to carry heavy things and or crops, it took less time and energy.
    The wheel, if you go somewhere and you dont see a wheel, you are either lost or dead. The wheel is used for cars to take you places, bikes for exercise or transport,wagons to pull little siblings or your kids, and tractors to help farmers.
    I think there were probably specialized farmers ,heerders,merchants, and pottery makers. People specalize in medecin, justic, teaching, farming ,and art.

  98. HI! sorry abot the typo in space on answer #2. MORE ANSWERS:
    3: the wheel helped the mesopotamians move many different heavy objects without it, today we would surely be lost. I know that there is another part to this question, and as soon as I get ff this computer where I am blogging from, I will remember it!!!!
    4: I think that the mesopotamians were very talented in so many ways, they invented money, the invented irrigation, and most importantly, THE WHEEL! the mesopotamians were talented in so many ways, too many to mention.
    6: I think that everyone has their own specific specialization, so, I don't know. everyone is different.
    7: I really don't think I know. But I do know that as soon as I get off of this computer, I will remember!!!
