The Hammurabi's Code primary source "Context & Lens" assignment was returned, discussed, edited, and time given for questions. We finished our note-taking on the Shang and Zhou dynasties and read through, discussed, and added notes to the 2 handouts included in that note packet. (Connect with a reliable classmate.) Collaborate to pull EQ notes about these cultures, being mindful to be an historian with regard to interpreting the sacrifice aspect, as we don't know specifics on how individuals were chosen (volunteered? or not?) and how it was carried out (pain free? or not?) -- perhaps a "both categories" item? We then began our 2nd-to-last case study of the unit -- Olmec -- by way of taking notes from video onto a page that has reduced down the trends list to those for which there is evidence in the video; work through the 13:00 mark. This will be finished in class tomorrow.
