—————–

You have just started learning about Mesopotamia in Social Studies. Using what you have learned so far, I want you to create a short story about living one day in Mesopotamia. You can pretend that you are living in Mesopotamia over 6,000 years ago, or come up with a new character all together. Be creative and have fun with this, but show me that you understand what you have learned.

Here are your guidelines:

  • Story must be 4-5 sentences;
  • Use at least 2 examples from the textbook to show me you understand what you have learned;
  • I will be looking for spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.

This will be due Monday, October 31. I will not take any stories after Monday!

Good luck and have fun with this!
