Writing Exercise: Ancient Sumer

When summer is over, it's time to get started on Sumer! Get your scholars writing about Ancient Sumer civilizations in this exercise, which features five short-answer prompts. Writers will describe Fertile Crescent Geography, compare and contrast ancient civilization to modern-day, outline ancient writing techniques, and depict basic features of Sumerian culture. No informational text is available, and this would most likely work best with either a preceding handout or lecture.
