Class on 1/28

            Today in Mr. Schick’s Western Civilization class, we started the actual curriculum of the last. We started to take notes in our notebooks.  We learned all about the earliest civilizations, especially Mesopotamia and the Sumerians.  We learned what happened during the Prehistoric Era and how we came to be.  We also talked a lot about the first form of writing called Cuneform and how they took stone tools and turned it into writing that took many years to decipher. We used later forms of writing to try and figure out what the little symbols meant.  Doing this helps us figure out more of the history before we know and maybe how we came to be.  We also learned what happens with the hierarchy system, and how women were thought to be the lowest of all. Hunters were at the top, the craftsmen, and then women.
