1 Name: Document Packet Week 4: Ancient Mesopotamia Date: In this packet you will have all the documents for the week. This document packet must be in class with you every day. We will work with these documents every day. WEEK 4 DAY 1 DOCUMENTS: Whole Class One day, a group of early settlers wandered into the land between two rivers. No one knows for sure, but there may have been a small band of people already living in the area. If so, the settlers quickly took over. They were real pioneers. They built permanent homes of sun-dried bricks made of mud and straw, and started a new life in the southern region of ancient Mesopotamia. The people who settled down and began to develop a civilization, in the land between two rivers, are known as the Sumerians.!-Mr. Donn (C) 2008 S.O.A.P.S.

3 DOCUMENT 2 PAIR WORK Hammurabi was an ancient Babylonian (Mesopotamian) king. He did something that no one had ever done before. The Sumerians had created the first written language, cuneiform. Using this written language, Hammurabi created the first written set of laws called the Code of Hammurabi. In Hammurabi's court, it did not matter if you were rich or poor. If you broke the law, and were found guilty, you would be punished.! Since the laws were clearly written down, everyone was expected to obey them.

5 WEEK 4 DAY 2 DOCUMENTS: DOCUMENT 1 WHOLE CLASS The ancient Sumerians believed in education. Record keeping was very important to them. They wanted their sons to learn how to read and write.! Their written language began as pictographs, pictures of things that acted as words. Pictographs worked, but they were rather cumbersome.! Soon, the clever ancient Sumerians started to use wedge-shaped symbols for objects and ideas instead of pictures. Today, we call this written language of wedge-shaped symbols cuneiform. Cuneiform became the written language from as early as 5000 BCE. As the civilization of Sumer started to decline, other civilizations continued to use the Sumerian written symbols. Thanks to the Sumerians, we know a great deal about ancient Mesopotamian civilization. -Mr. Donn 2008 S.O.A.P.S. Document Analysis Respond to the questions below to analyze the document.

7 DOCUMENT 2 PAIR WORK Ziggurats were temples.! Like many ancient people, the ancient Sumerians believed that powerful gods lived in the sky. They built huge structures, called ziggurats, with steps climbing up to the top.! Religious ceremonies were held at the very top.! All year long, people left offerings of food and wine on the steps of the ziggurats. The priests enjoyed these offerings, as the gods could not eat for themselves. The Ziggurat was built in the center of town. It was the center of daily life. Except for festivals, which, for the most part, were gloomy things, the Ziggurat courtyard was filled with life. You might see an artist painting, a boy racing by on his way to school, someone milking a cow or making a basket.! From the top of the Ziggurat, you could see the protective wall built about the entire town, and over the wall to the farmlands beyond. -Mr. Donn (C) 2008 S.O.A.P.S.
