Today, you are going to continue the same process with your partner of observe/question/reflect with a political and thematic map of Mesopotamia. Remember… 7 observations: What do you see on the maps 3 questions: What questions to you have after making your observations 2 inferences: A statement or conclusion about the civilization of Mesopotamia based upon the maps

Remember to TLC when reading a Graphs/ Charts/ Maps/ Data TLC a map: Title Legend Compass Rose Symbols Scale Labels Colors Caption In addition, look for: Lines of Longitude Lines of Latitude

Political Map of Mesopotamia

Resource Map of Mesopotamia

Task Select your strongest inference from the political map reflection and the strongest inference from the thematic map reflection. On the blank notecard, write those reflections that you selected on each side of the notecard. Make sure to identify which is the political map reflection and which one is the thematic map reflection. Also put you and your partners name on the card

Reflection With your partner, discuss the following questions and give feedback on each inference Is this an inference? Why or Why not? What is the evidence from the map that supports/lead to this inference Remember, an inference is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning. You take what you see and draw a conclusion. It isn’t obvious! It is statement or conclusion about the civilization of Mesopotamia based upon the maps

Exit Ticket Based upon the maps, the FAB 5, and the characteristics of a civilization, why was Mesopotamia the location of the first major civilization? Extension: What would physical/political/thematic maps teach someone about the American Civilization?
