If You Were a Child in . . .

Do you want an opportunity for extra credit? If so imagine yourself as a child in one of the ancient river civilizations that we have studied. Describe your life. 

What would you do every day? How would you live? What would your family be like? What kind of job would your dad have? Where would you fit in the social classes (Based on your father's occupation)? Where would you live? In the city? In the country? In the desert? How would you get your food? If any, what type of transportation would your family use?

The more accurate details you provide, the more extra credit you will earn. Consideration will be given for clean, well organized writing.
