Day 1-4
Day 1-4
Your group will be rotating through stations to learn about Mesopotamia in order to create a 3-D ziggurat. You will be learning about the ancient civilization with the G.R.A.P.E.S. model (geography, religion, accomplishments, politics, economy and society). Stations do not need to be completed in order.
At each station, you should read the directions, follow them carefully, and complete the station tasks in a thorough and thoughtful manner. You will need to work collaboratively with your group. That means that you will need to be inclusive and respectful of your peers. However, that does not mean that one person will do the work and the others will simply copy the answers.
