The 6th grade class recently studied the origin of our first known civilization, the land of the Fertile Crescent. During this unit, the class began working on Travel Brochures. The basis for the brochure was to understand the geography of area, which is located in modern day Iraq. The region was the first area where people settled, created cities and learned agricultural skills. No longer did people have to wander and be nomadic searching for food. Students were able to grasp "The Land Between Two Rivers" working on this project.
The brochure also allowed them to use their creative side artistically and to write about activities the people at this time may have enjoyed. They added detailed writing components, scale maps and also pictures of people enjoying their time in Mesopotamia. This class is full of kinesthetic and visual learners, which allowed this project to benefit all learning types.
