Today in class we said the prayer. We met with a partner and did a paper on Hammurabi's code. We discussed it in class. We didn't really do anything besides this so I can't really write about anything else. Mr. Schick gave us a cream colored paper to do for homework. I really hope it snows tomorrow.
Today we watched a video called "Guns, Germs, and Steel". The main guy in the video was Jared Diamond who is a professor at UCLA, a biologist, an author, and is passionate in the study of birds. He traveled to Papua, New Guinea to learn what it was like to live there. People have lived in Papua for over 40,000 years with a similar life style. Cargo stands for there material goods. Pre-historical times (about 13,000 years ago) everyone was a hunter or gatherer. Sago- staple food that comes from trees. Barley + wheat were main crops.
