• [At this time, place Image Card 6 (Nebuchadnezzar) on the
  Early World Civilizations Chart in the Leaders section, and have
  students place the same Image Card on their chart.]


• Give each student a copy of Instructional Master 4B-1. Tell them
  that they are going to create their own Civilizations Chart to
  share with their families. Have students draw pictures to show
  what they have learned about the various components of the
  civilization of Mesopotamia.
  ➶ Above and Beyond: For students who are able to do so, have
  them write words or sentences describing their pictures. Save
  students’ charts so that they can add ancient Egypt information
  to it at a later time.

Recreating the Hanging Gardens of Babylon 20+ minutes

• Ask students: “What was so amazing about the Hanging
  Gardens of Babylon?” (It was a large and beautiful garden in the
  middle of a desert.) Remind students that the Hanging Gardens
  of Babylon no longer exist, but people like to wonder and
  imagine what they looked like.


• You may wish to have small groups of students draw a large
  picture of the Hanging Gardens, or you may have students
  draw their own picture of the Hanging Gardens to display in the
  classroom.
