I think that sumer was a civilization I think so because:
First example:every civilization has a lot of people so sumer is a civilization . Second example:
is a civilization because they
work togheter to made the canals
and the leeves. third example:i think that sumer is a civilization
because civilization is the same thing as society and a society means like alot of people so sumer
is a civilization because sumer has
so many people.

Hi my name is brenda rudecindo.

I think sumer was a civilization.Fisrt because a civilization is like a comunity and that looks like a community.
Secondly because it looks like it has levves.Finally because it's all like colored and painted they have sculture.

Andy:

And levees and canals have to do with irrigation, technology and stable food supply.

The first and third examples are exactly the same.

Great job... it wasn't as hard as you thought it would be!!!

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Brenda, you describe arts and technology (and stable food, irrigation).

The first example was a little hard to understand!

Great job though!

Wilmer,

Okay. You were not in this class during Sumer. Now that I know you know how to answer the online question, I want you to take your time and do a well done job next time

Haiker,

the levees as a symbol of technology and stable food supply and sculptures as a symbol of art are good examples. But you needed to write a little more.

The community example? If a school looks like a school it is a school? Get it? You can do much better!

Cristian,

You only had one sentence and you did not answer the question

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Class,

I am not really happy with your work for this question. Anyone who wants to improve their grade can do the work again, give three examples and write at least five complete sentences!
