Tuesday

Today in class was the first real day we had. We took notes on the PowerPoint that Mr.Schick presented to us. I took really good notes, but I didn't have my notebook yet so I had to copy notes on a loose leaf of paper. Chapter 1 is about Mesopotamia and early civilization. We learned that the first civilization was in the middle east in present day Iraq. These people chose this place because the land was good for growing crops, this land is known as the Fertile Crescent. Also, the two rivers they lived in between were the Tigris and Euphrates river. We also learned that to become a civilization it took a long period of time and modern tool inventions. The wheel was the most helpful invention ever because it made it easier for people to move things from place to place.
