Text Book and Video Resources for M.E. and N.A. Unit

The flu has hit MMS hard, so I am going to keep a running list of what we are reading in the text book and videos we have watched on You Tube for those who are absent.  These resources could also be used for test review in March.  I can't get the links to hyperlink, so just cut and paste - sorry!


Pages in World Cultures and Geography textbook:

560-567



You Tube Videos - look up by EXACT TITLE:

"Mesopotamia From Nomads to Farmers”  by Discovery Education

Kid version of the epic, Gilgamesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axVubWiGUMM

We have a library copy for classroom use of an IMAX movie called "Mystery of the Nile" - can probably be checked out at your local library.
