March 14-17






































YOUR NEXT WRITING ASSIGNMENT:
(I'll introduce this to you the week of the 21st)

On Demand Write                          
Historians have long debated which ancient civilization was the most technologically advanced.  (“Technologically advanced” means who had more and better “stuff” to make life easier.) Mesopotamians may have come first with their fancy wheel and cuneiform, but were they more advanced than the Egyptians who perfected mummification and pyramids, or was it the Indus Valley people, who planned their cities so precisely?


Citing at least 3 different sources of information that you’ve gathered, and ACEing in great detail, please choose which of these three civilizations you believe had the most advanced technology. (That means you can only choose ONE civilization!) There is no required minimum length, but it may not be more than two pages front to back (4 sides).  You may use all notes and type if you choose. You have until the end of the class to complete this task.
