Hammurabi’s Code Discuss: What 10 stuck out to you? Why? Is the law code fair? Why or why not? What does this law code show about society? About how men and women and slaves were treated? What are important values of Babylonian society based on this law code? Predict: what would society be like if we had laws as strict as that? Share what stuck out to you Discuss: is the law code fair?

CREATE YOUR OWN! Your group has just terraformed a new planet in the year 3047. It is up to you to organize a code of laws that dictates how your society should act. Create a list of five to ten laws that must be followed by everyone in your society, keeping in mind: What are your values? How will you express that? Are your punishments based on the crimes committed? Will you be gracious and kind or cruel and ruthless? Is justice the most important? Or forgiveness?
