The Great Debate: Which is Better: money, wheel, irrigation, or writing

Whether it was through Powerpoint, discussion, video, or digging for artifacts, we have learned about some "firsts" of Mesopotamia. We have discovered that Mesopotamia, the first Civilization of the world, was the first to invent written language(cuneiform), irrigation, the wheel, and money. Four things that directly affect us in 2009. I think we can all agree that those are four very important things, especially in today's world. However, let us take a few moments to think about which, exactly, of the four is the most important in 2009. Your first instincts may tell you it's money. But do not be so quick to answer, think about the world without each of the four. What is it like? You may think money is most important. With money, you can buy a car. However, without the wheel, your car is not going anywhere. With money, you can buy food, but without irrigation, crops would not get sufficient water, therefore, we would not have food to eat. No written language? It would make things quite difficult. We would not be able to communicate with each other which means no talking on the phone, no emailing, no texting and the worst of all, no blogging. Your task is to discuss your thoughts on what you think is the most important invention and why. You MUST support your answer with why you think that.

Task #2: Explain to the rest of the class which of the four inventions you think is the most important. Support your answer with details and your opinions.

Task #3: Respond to someone elses comments. At some point, you need to read other peoples' comments and reply to them. You need to respond to someone that you agree with and disagree with. You must disagree respectfully, however.
When you are responding to someones comments, here is the proper format: Whoever you are replying to, write: "Hi, (name). I agree with you because...." OR "Hi (name). I disagree with you because....." That way the person knows when someone is replying to them. You may reply to as many people as you want.

Let the Discussion begin....

In-Class Blogging.

  5. Irrigation is a great invention because without it, everyones crops would die then everyone would starve to death.

    Money is also a good invention because without money, you would die if you didn't have land to plant crops onto.

    The wheel is a useful invention because if you didn't have a wheel, you would have to lift really heavy things around.

    Writing is a great invention because without writing, we would never know about the Mesopotamians.

  8. I think irrigation is the most important because if you have money you can buy food and survive but you can't get more money, so if you don't have any money, and your cropes donn't grow than you have to resort to your animals for food (if you have any).

  12. the wheel is good because it's good for transapation for the car. money is good because it can bye stuff like food or a car. irrigation is good because it waters the grass or the crops. written language is good because it allows you to talkto each other for commoonication. i think written language is the best because we can ask someone for money to bye irrigation,wheels to invent the car and the talk to people if they want to bye a car.

  32. Written language (cuneiform) is a good invention because we would not have a way to communicate if it wasn't for cuneiform.

    Irrigation is also a good invention because if you didn't have it you would have no way of watering your crops.

    The wheel is another good invention because if you didn't have the wheel it would be hard to move things.

    Money is another good invention because you wouldn't be able to buy things without it.

    I think that irrigatiion is the best because if you didn't have irrigation we would not be able to live because the crops would die because of lack of water.

Everything would be desert!

    Task #2

    The wheel is used to carry supplies around. Money is used to buy things for your services. Irrigation is by you controling how much you crops get watered. Written language is how we communicate with others.

    Task #3

    I think money irrigation would be the best because you can get things for your services.

  148. Hannah, I disagree with you because without irrigation, you wouldn't live! You have to have water to water your crops in order to eat. So, plain and simple, without irrigation you die.

  176. I think writing is the one thing that has helped mankind progress more rapidly than anything else. It has lead to the rapid development of so many other things just because we could communicate with one another. It has also allowed us to learn about those who came before us. We could probably live fairly good lives without a system of money. We could live without the wheel, although many things in our lives would be more difficult. Also, we could surely live without irrigation. Although we would have less food, we would still find ways to get water to our crops somehow. Writing, and all forms of communication, is something that is used every second of every day, and without it our society would still be living more like Neanderthals than like the advanced technological sociey we have become. Thanks to the cultures of Mesopotamia for all the inventions that we still use today.
