Today, students were given time to continue working on their maps of the Fertile Crescent. This was the last time we will be working on the map in class. I will collect the maps tomorrow from those who did not finish today. It is the responsibility of the student to complete the assignment if they were not able to get in finished in class. These maps will likely be the last grade of the first marking period.
Any student who owes me anything should be sure to get it turned in this week! There are still a few students who were absent when we completed the unit one assessment; it is their responsibility to see me for a pass to come to my room for lunch or 9th period to finish it up. There are also several students who were given alternative assignments which will be due on Friday of this week.
There will be NO extra credit given this marking period. I have accepted work late, gave students the opportunity to take retakes of assessments and quizzes, and have reminded them relentlessly. There are two days left to take care of getting caught up. Please post a comment here, send me an email, or see me in person if there are any questions.

Why did all the city-states in Sumer combine to make one country? Why did they all split up? Weren't they all nomads? I'm guessing different gruops of people believed in different things. Sort of like a social class right? Are there social classes within' a city state?
@MacK - What thought provoking questions... Although they shared a 'somewhat similar culture,' the Sumerian city-states were independent of each other most of the time. The main reason for the division was religious. The ancient Sumerians believed that each city-state had its own god or goddess and there was a certain amount of loyalty to that god; in a sense, they did believe in different things. They people of Sumer were NOT nomads. Sumer was made-up of farming communities, which led to a surplus of food and the development of civilization. Each city-state would have also had a social class system which could have varied to a certain degree from place to place largely based upon job specialization. Does this answer your questions? If now, I would be happy to elaborate a bit more...
