Project Scenario
You and your classmates are investigating the rich history of Iraq
which was once known as the “Cradle of Civilization” or Mesopotamia. As you research the this ancient
civilization you will try to determine what factors contributed to the
success and the decline of Mesopotamia.
Your team will study Mesopotamia by organizing the
information you learn based on these elements of civilization:
·
Geography
·
Social Systems
·
Political Systems
·
Culture
·
Economics
·
Belief Systems
In your study of Mesopotamia your team will be asked
to come to a consensus on these two questions:
·
What was the one
most important element that contributed to the success of Mesopotamia?
Why?
·
What was the one
most important element that contributed to the eventual decline of
Mesopotamia? Why?
To present your answer to the
questions, you will give a persuasive presentation to the class, supported
by graphics and giving evidence to support your decision-making process and
ideas.
