Mesopotamia
What is a civilization? Students will read a secondary source about
“civilizations” that emerged in the river valley of Afroeurasia and then discuss questions that are given.
The source discusses food resources, human impact on the environment, and human relations.
In Mesopotamia, people became specialized in their trade, women’s social roles were defined, writing emerged for record keeping, and architecture is also discussed.

Gender Roles Lesson: “Ancient Tablets, Ancient Graves: Accessing
Women’s Lives in Mesopotamia” Students will read from cuneiform tablets and artifacts
about women’s roles, treatment, power, etc. in Mesopotamia.
Students will be locating specific places in the sources where women’s roles, treatment, power, etc. are revealed.
This is a good activity to “ease” students into reading primary sources because they are fairly short.
http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson2.html This lesson can be used in conjunction with Reilly’s
comparative reader – Worlds of History, pages 1-26
Diffusion of Technology: Iron & Bronze Use
“Metallurgy: Iron” Students will be grouped to read a source
on the development of iron and compare the diffusion of older technology (Iron/Bronze) with that of newer technology (cell phones/internet).

http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/home.html Medicine in Ancient Egypt from the beginning of the scholarly study of
Egypt's past there have been few scholars who recognized the importance of the process of disease and health on a population.
With the turn of the century, new archaeological discoveries, increased knowledge of Egyptian language and writing, and the advent of more sophisticated medical techniques, new life was breathed into the study of disease and health in the ancient Nile Valley. It was this period that saw the academic study of Egyptian disease segregated into three distinct categories.
