Doing history is about digging into and through the record left behind and the artifacts the remain as evidence of events of the past. This is where history comes alive. I hope that this year you gain an appreciation for and an interest in history by doing history.

Tuesday Evening with Gilgamesh
This evening, I want you to dig into the challenging Epic of Gilgamesh. Rather than go into any detail here, I want you to explore the resources provided for you and come to class tomorrow prepared to discuss what you've learned.
Before tackling the document, I want you to go the Gilgamesh website by clicking here. While there are lots of interesting things to explore at this site, I want you to focus on the video.
After watching the video, download the PDF containing the document and carefully read/analyze it. Don't forget the Six Ws. Stop when you get to document two, The Judgements of Hammurabi. The document can be downloaded by clicking here.
Reminder: Our chapter one quiz has been moved to Thursday.
