Mesopotamian Geography
This week, we continue studies of Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent! Students will become familiar with the land between the Tigris and Euphrates River, design a map of the region, and describe its primary geographic characteristics, including location, place, region, movement, and interaction. On Friday, students will simulate the annual flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates and explain how it benefited Mesopotamian agriculture.
This week we will continue review Southwestern, Northwestern, Scandinavian, Nordic, Central, Eastern, and Southeastern European countries. We will add the final Southeastern region of Europe on Tuesday. There will be NO map quiz this week. Our final quiz will be next Tuesday. Please let me know if you would like to retake any geography quiz to receive a new score.
