Farming
Farming
The settlers built cities along the
Euphrates and Tigris
Rivers. The farmers wheat , barley,
dates, and vegetables.
They also collected fruits, berries,
nuts, shellfish, and crab.
Before the farmers knew how to
farm, they got their food
from different plants. The farmers
found out that if you
irrigated the crops they would
grow faster. The farmers
raised animals such as sheep,
goats, and cows. Also when
a drought came the people
couldn’t walk to a different
area
to trade.
Farming
• Farming is similar to life today because we
still farm. We still farm because that is how
we get our vegetables.

School/Education in Sumer
School/Education in Sumer
The Sumerian people believed in
education. The Sumerian people
also used a written language
called cuneiform writing.
Cuneiform writing became a
written language in the early
5000 B.C. The people wanted
their son’s to learn how to read
and write. When students went to
school and did something wrong,
they would get whipped. Although
the students were whipped, they
still wanted to go to school and
learn.
School/Education in Sumer
• School and education are similar to life
today because kids parents want their
children to go to school and have a good
education. Also that if we cheat on a test
today we would get in so much trouble and
back then if students got in trouble for
talking when they shouldn’t be they would
get whipped.
