conference notes from sept 22:

Feeling kind of shakey; taking notes from movie and looking at textbook; History of the Babylonians (had started out with the tower of bably, but couldn’t find much so starting over)  Interested in kings, structures, leaders, dictators: I suggest report on Sargon   1.  Read text page 14  2. Do a Gale search on him. Use the “Research Tools” tab, and follow links to get to passwords and instructions  3. Quick Britanica search, both “Mesopotamia” and “Sargon”  4. Complete a new research organizer, so search strategy.

Sargon Notes

• Reigned c. 2334 B.C.-2279 B.C. • Not as well known as other ancient rulers ( i.e. Alexander the Great) • Some say Sargon was the first empire builder. • Another story of Sargon’s back round is that his mother was a prostitute. • None the less, the story of his adoptive father comes back into the loop. His father was a gardner (to the kings of a Akkad) since Sargon was so young he worked inside the palace as drink bearer. As a drink bearer it was his job to taste the drink before the king and make sure no one had poisoned it. • The king had put so much trust in him that he left the kingdom to Sargon. • Ur-Zababa was probably the king overthrown by Lugalzaggisi. Apparently, while the latter was away conquering another town, Sargon raised an army and attacked Lugal-zaggisi's capital of Uruk. The defenders of Uruk put up a desperate fight, reinforced by armies from neighboring city-states, but Sargon's force was too strong. Meanwhile, it seems that Lugalzaggisi returned and found his city under attack. Sargon captured him and brought him to the city of Nippur (ni-POOR) in chains. Now Sargon was undisputed ruler over the region. (FROM SOURCE. DON’T UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT.) • While he was king, Sargon went south and counquored all in his way • He went through Egypt and Ethiopia. • It was said that Sargon was the first civilization builder, although it didn’t last long it started history as we know it today. • 2150 nomadic Gutians invaded and took over the northern part of Akkad. • First developed civiliazation was Sumer • As Sargon dominated Sumer, he didn’t want to demolish the cilization, he wanted to unify the people. • Sargon’s grandson Naram-Sin decided that he would be the “ruler of the four quarters”

Conclusion

10/3  Nice outloines. Good use of Gale articles; Where are the rest ofyour sources? Have Brintanica stuff, underlined and highlighted. Ok  <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">So right now, have only Gale article and Encylopedia britanica;; OUtline makes sense, but w/ onlyu 2 sources used it's only worth at B+ flesh it out osme more and I'll raise the grade. Thanks,

Mr. A. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Go check these 4 books, use index, find sections, Xerox, then highlighe and margin notes; take light running notes; not too much detail. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Tahnks, <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'">Mr. A

Damon, Imo, and Sarah Jane Pitch Ideas

Idea: Teacher drowning on about Greece, child falls asleep in class and drifts into a dream, the dream is about him in Greece, he goes around Greece, every where he goes, he learns something about each place, seems like forever, but in that class period the child wakes up more revitalized

Audience: Young children Why does this matter? Young children are not always into their work, if the see this, they will become imaginative, and think better of school. Gender? Boys & Girls all over the world

Income: Our income will be strong and steady; for we believe that if we put our commercails on such TV. Channels as Nick©, Disney©, and PBS©, children will see then as well as their nanny’s, and parents, who would want to take them to the movie itself.

Children make up most of America therefore; I believe that our income will be steady & good.

Greek History? The history of Greece will be pulled in when the child walks around each island learning new stories every time about the gods and goddess’s.

Connection: The child will be going in and out of the past and present, each time he needs to get onto a new place it turns to present, each time he goes into a new story he is in the past.
