Assignment (Due Friday, November 20)
Students will be creating an Akkadian style stele to highlight one of the accomplishments of one of the great Fertile Crescent empires. A stele is a slab of stone on which artists would carve relief sculptures of military battles or other major achievements.
The stele should show an important person, place, or thing related to the history of the Fertile Crescent. Along with a picture, students will also write a caption explaining the picture.
