Students just completed their most recent challenge in groups of 5-6. They started planning their Mesopotamian City-State on paper. They needed to sketch out a birds-eye-view and include the following things in their city-state:
-Ziggurat
-City wall
-Tigris or Euphrates River
-Farm with crops
-Canals and ditches
-Dam or reservoir
-Homes
Once they planned out their city-state on graph paper, they marked off a plot of land and inserted a sign that included their names and the city-state they were creating. Then they got set on building! I gave them about 2 weeks, but that included 1.5 days of groups presenting their city-states.
Here are some examples from their projects:
