My class is doing a simulation called Empires. It is a simulation where the Babylonians, Hittites, Medes, (I am in the Medes) Persians, and Phoenicians all compete against. Each other to take over the map. Basically, you try to get civilization and do well on the tasks. The tasks also give you civilization points.It is really fun and is one of my favorite simulations that I have done over the years.
For my Tribe Task, I did a slideshow on Mesopotamian writing.
Click here to go to my Tribe Task slideshow.
This tribe task is for ancient Mesopotamian writing. It is supposed to tell you about what writing was like and how it was used back then. In this slideshow, there are different slides for different things. For example, one of them, (as shown in the picture), has information about stories in Mesopotamia. Another one has information about cuneiform.

For my Village Task, I did three paragraphs about the three things I was studying. I also decided to put a picture in for some kind of creative element.

This is my Empire task.
This is a model Ziggurat that I made.
These 2 pics are an example of one of my cards.
This task is a model of a Ziggurat. A Ziggurat is a Mesopotamian temple that is used to honor the gods. I also made seven cards that tell about different subjects. Five of them tell about gods and one of them tells about Ziggurats. The other one tells about the jobs of priests.
