Hammurabi's Code Worksheet

In class today, we worked on a new worksheet on Hammurabi's Code. This worksheet was about taking our 21st-century minds, judgment, and thoughts and "went back in time" to Hammurabi's century. Each of the questions was different but had the same theme. Every question had the theme of someone did something wrong. Some of the specific questions where "something wrong" happened was the murder of a family due to the poor construction of a house, the robbery of someone's belongings, and the wreckage of their friend's boat. Mr. Schick said we could work with a partner while filling out the "your decisions" part of the question, so I worked with Brianne. After everyone finished the worksheet, we all shared our own answers. A bunch of people would put people in jail, put them to work, and some would even use abuse as punishments. However, it was very fun and interesting to hear so many different points of view on the same topic!
