The tools they made are the wheel and the ziggurat. The Ziggurat is a temple-like structure and the wheel helped improve travel. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288733673 andrea_carolina9 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288734200  The location of the Sumerians homes impacted their lives. They lived near the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This was in the Fertile Crescent. It was called by this particular name because the land's soil was very rich and it was shaped like a crescent. The sumerians were the very first people known to live in the Fertile Crescent. The location of their homes provided for rich soil which gives plentiful crops. Also, these rivers provided a lot of water. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288734200 I think the location impacted their lives because since they were near the Nile river this gave them silt which was very good to grow crops in.

They spent hours outside working in fields. For example being a farmer at this time was very stressful. Farmers worked for long eriods of time and sometimes never slept. There were also upper, middle, and low classes. At this point in time, there was slavery. Slavery, of course, the lower class and middle class was kings, and queens. The middle class, was farmers. Slavery was also very hectic. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288735780 Core Question 2: flobscobber3000 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288735882 I think that life in Sumer was organized.

For example, they invented writing and languages. This helped people to communicate with each other. Without this, we would never be able to talk! They also invented the wheel, which allowed them to make vehicles for farming and the army.]]> 2018-10-03 16:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288737746 Sumerians mariasofiadeabreu https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288737875 I think the wheel was also a big part of the Sumerian culture because it led to all the inventions we have today. Without the things the Sumerians had they would lose almost everything like their agriculture because without the Tigris and Euphrates river 


]]> 2018-10-03 16:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288737875 I think that life in Sumer depended on what class you were in. Jobs for farmers would be hard, but they are what powered trade! Scribes' jobs were tedious, but writing was important. For people of higher classes, life was easy, so they could sit back and relax while the slaves would work all the time. 0612127444 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738030 2018-10-03 16:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738030 victoria_cure07 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738133 Core Question #3

The Sumerian inventions helped change the world. If it weren't for the wheel. The wheel changed the world since it helped make cars. Their cuneiform lead to modern day writing. We wouldn't know that they even existed.]]> 2018-10-03 16:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738133 Core Question 3 pau_vallecillo16 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738422 THE accomplishments impacted World History by having their own alphabet and wasy to keep track of everything they have and traded. Also, they studied math and science which is now learned in current education and they divided the fay and year. The yar and day is still divided the same way they did. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738422 Core Question 3 aadyac10 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738876 Their accomplishments impacted us a lot. For example, the wheel, we use it to get around. Writing, we write everyday! Lastly they invented math and astronomy which helps us in our everyday life. Like satellites and the math we use today so their accomplishments impacted us a lot.]]> 2018-10-03 16:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288738876 core question 3 AnaLiviaRodrigues https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288740595 i think tha]]> 2018-10-03 16:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288740595 Closing Question k00l_kid https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741019 If the Sumerians' location was different, it would have changed the course of history itself. They wouldn't have been as advanced as far as they did. They wouldn't have invented irrigation or the wheel. It may have been invented later on, but if that happened, we wouldn't be as far was we are right now if it weren't for them. Their civilization would have fell or never form in the beginning.]]> 2018-10-03 16:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741019 Closing Question pau_vallecillo16 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741194 The Sumerian culture would've been different the rivers provided them with water to survive and plant crops. The rivers and nearby seas were excellent ways to transport themselves by using ships. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741194 Closing Question viamaz18 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741282 If the Sumerians location had been different, their crops might have not have been so successful.

]]> 2018-10-03 16:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741282 Closing Question- victoria_c_valdivieso https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741534 If the Sumerian's geography was different, the flooding's of the Euphrates river and the Tigris river would not have happened. There would not have been anything called the fertile crescent, and the Sumerian's would not have a good food supply, due to the lack of rivers/fertile soil. Also, they may have not been in the main trade route, so getting wood or other necessary supplies would have been very hard. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741534 0612127444 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288741948  Core Question 3:The Sumerians invented many things. The wheel, irrigation, and cuneiform are all very important creations. The wheel is what we use today for so many things! Cars, bikes, airplanes and more vehicles use 

Take it to writing:


Our life today would be very different if Sumerians didn't exist. We may have not even been writing today if it wasn't for Sumerians! Our crops could die without irrigation, then there would be no healthy fruit and vegetables, then we'd all have to eat fish and the world would end! Anyway, another important invention was the wheel. Without the wheel, we wouldn't be able to get around half as fast as we do today! Without cuneiform, our lives would have no texting, emails, letters, or essays! Thank Sumerians! 

 wheels. Back then, they used the wheel for long distance trading. Irrigation is important because crops need water to grow, so irrigation was essential to Sumerians. Irrigation is moving water through human systems. In my opinion, cuneiform is most important. Cuneiform is writing, and without writing, there would be no books!
Closing Question: If Sumer wasn't placed between the Tigris and Euphrates River, it may have not survived for long. The rivers were essential for farming and trade. Without the floods, no silt would deposit onto Sumer, meaning crops wouldn't flourish as they did. Without crops, trade would die slowly, and Sumer would too.

Not living near the river would have led to scarce food because they would not have had much water, living in the desert that they did. So they would have to hunt but there aren't very many animals in the desert so had they not lived where they did we may have never existed

The Sumerian's passed on from generation to generation that you could plant seeds or fruit/veggies and they would grow into more food. They also created beautiful artwork and pottery to trade, and we use arts and crafts to decorate our houses today too. But most importantly, they had rulers and religions that they passed on to us. They believed in one or more gods and had multiple religions. Now, in 2018, we have religions and gods we look up to, and we have a president. We also have armies, and, in the past, we have had World Wars. That is why is Sumerian's culture and religion had been different, we would not have been where we are today.]]> 2018-10-03 16:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288745598 take it to writing mariasofiadeabreu https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288745741 I think our lives would be very different from what it is right now because without sumerians learning so much and  figuring out everything without them we wouldnt have the ABC because they invented cuneiform we wouldnt have the advanced technology we have today without them. ]]> 2018-10-03 16:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288745741 take it to writing AnaLiviaRodrigues https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288745750 without the Sumerians we wouldn't have cars and we wouldn't know that much about architecture since they built great structures and discovered that many things. we also wouldn't know hot to write since they invented a language. we also wouldn't know that much about what happened at that time without them because they kept record.]]> 2018-10-03 16:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288745750 Take it to Writing k00l_kid https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/288746275 Without the Sumerians, our lives would be much different than they are right now.

First of all, the Sumerians created the wheel, that changed the modern world for the better. It made moving around easy and affordable. Another example is writing, it created the concept of writing down things that happen so later generations can know about them too.

They built dams and leeves to protect their crops from the floods and it dropped fertile soil, called silt, which the Sumerians used to fertilize the crops they grew to sell to other people. If they had lived in a drier environment, they may not have survived without the rivers. On the other hand, if they had lived in a wetter environment, with more moisture, their crops may have been over watered and died. This would have made the probability of developing a complex civilization very low.]]> 2018-10-05 15:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696185 CORE QUESTION 2 sydpyd https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696194  I think life in Sumer was like, first class or upper class were richer, had great value, and had more rights. Some people that were included in upper class are kings, priests, nobles, government officials, and wealthy landowners. Middle or second class was made up of Sumerians that weren’t valued and little rights. This includes farmers, trades people, merchants, and soldiers. The lowest class of all, third class and they had no rights or values. This class was made up of slaves.

The Sumerians are credited with creating the wheel, and written language. Without these things our lives would be very different. For example, without written language, history would be gone for we would not keep records of things without written language. The wheel was the basis for modern transportation, without it, we would not have cars or buses. This would change the world as we know it. We might not even have people in America, due to the fact that settlers came to the Americas on wagons, which use wheels. ]]> 2018-10-05 15:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696392 Was flobscobber3000 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696680 2018-10-05 16:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696680 Was it fair that they had different social classes? flobscobber3000 https://padlet.com/CTCAM/Meso/wish/289696726 I think it is fair because it is organized.
