My headline for today's activity is; The MesMaps (The Mesopotamian Maps). This relates to the Maps of Mesopotamia we looked at. We looked at modern day Mesopotamia and ancient Mesopotamia. We used the "See, Think, Wonder" strategy to compare these maps. It was fairly easy to see which map was the oldest one. All you had to do was to look at the names of the places and if there were any borders. In Mesopotamia there were empires, such as Babylonia and Sumer. The empires reasonably close to each other so they would have had wars with each other but they still would have had cherished. You could see that Mesopotamia was one place and it covered that entire area however now that area consists of many countries.
This was my thinking for "The MesMaps."
