  11. 0-3 The first thing was farming. Mesopotamia means land between the rivers

    3-6 They fish, rather than just eating plants and livestock. The Sumarian invented the plow and the calendar, and writing.

    6-9 The best thing is the wheel. They got so good, they could just quit anytime. They organize by wealthy, no so wealthy, the poor.

    9-12 Some people's jobs are to play music. They believe in 7 gods. The priests hold ceramonies for the gods. They take care of everyone.

    12-13 The king has a lot to do.The sumarians play taxes! They get taxed on everything.

    Comments: I like how they did it from a girls view.
