Grade 5 explored cuneiform by recreating an ancient Mesopotamian writing system in clay. They shaped soft clay into small tablets and used pointed tools to press wedge-shaped marks, following how the ancient Sumerians recorded information. It gave students a chance to experience how people recorded information thousands of years ago.
Instead of just reading about ancient writing, they tried their hand at it. They worked with the same material and process that made it possible.
