Today I presented a powerpoint introducing Mesopotamian art, specifically Sumerian. Afterwards, they wrote in their altered books about a special place they go to think. We discussed the idea of devotion, which they defined as commitment and dedication. I tried to make a connection between the Sumerian people going to their temples to communicate with God, and having a quiet place to think, a special place. Then we reviewed what they thought were some interesting things about the Sumerian people. I then told them that this weekend they should draw or take a picture of their place. At the end of class I had them share some things that they had done in their altered books.
