Quiz Review

We have quiz on Wednesday on City States in Mesopotamia, and Pre- History to Civilization. So today we went over some of the quiz questions to prepare for Wednesday. Mr. Schick will fix the quiz a little and then we will go over it again tomorrow. We are going over this twice because our class is much further ahead then the other. We finished our textbook notes, the slideshow, and talk about Hammurabi's Code. We also talked about how some of the laws are very crazy. These are some important words to know for the quiz. Cultural diffusion, fertile crescent, Mesopotamia, polytheism, irrigation, cuneiform, dynasty, ziggurat, Modern countries in fertile crescent: Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria. Neolithic Age ( New Stone Age, Paleolithic Age ( Old Stone Age), city state, epic of Gilgamesh: The great flood, Hammurabi's Code: 282 laws. These laws were engraved on stone plaques- how everyone knew about them. Silt a knew word that means: the name for the soil left behind as water recedes away. A bonus question: Tigris River is the answer it is a military base on this river, something recently happened to it.
