2. F Adriana Joniaux Farming

3. Farming The settlers built cities along the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. The farmers wheat, barley, dates, and vegetables. They also collected fruits, berries, nuts, shellfish, and crab. Before the farmers knew how to farm, they got their food from different plants. The farmers found out that if you irrigated the crops they would grow faster. The farmers raised animals such as sheep, goats, and cows. Also when a drought came the people couldn’t walk to a different area to trade.

4. Farming Farming is similar to life today because we still farm. We still farm because that is how we get our vegetables.

The people wanted their son’s to learn how to read and write. When students went to school and did something wrong, they would get whipped. Although the students were whipped, they still wanted to go to school and learn.

Also that if we cheat on a test today we would get in so much trouble and back then if students got in trouble for talking when they shouldn’t be they would get whipped.
