Today in Western Civilization class, we got our first test back. I already knew what I had gotten because I checked on Veracross. I got a ninety-six percent with the four extra credit points. I was happy I got an A because I am starting off the quarter strong and hopefully I keep that up. As he was passing out the tests he said my name and rung the bell. It felt good to go up and get it knowing I worked hard. He rungs the bell once if you got ninety percent or above, and he rung the bell two times if you get a hundred percent or above. We also continued taking notes from the textbook. I still haven't finished but I got some more good notes. Some of the notes I got were:
-The Tigris and Euphrates rivers flood Mesopotamia at least once a year
-After rivers flood, they leave and create a soil kind of thing called silt
-result of farming in the rich flooded soil was a lot of wheat and barley production at harvest time
-people began farming before 4500 bc
-Sumerians came along in 3300 bc
-there were three disadvantages:
1. not knowing when the flood would occur; and having periods where there is little to no rain
2. Sumerian villages were nearly defenseless
3. natural resources were limited' building material and other necessary items were scarce
