Today's lesson focused on Mesopotamia. Mercer read material about Sumerians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Akkiadeans, and Assryainans and how they continued many of the ideas of the people before them, such as the cuniform language. Mercer participated in discussing the lack of tangible evidence of their existence until the 1800s. Mercer spent the remainder of the class learning fun facts about ancient geography. Mercer was on task.
