In day one simulation of Mesopotamia, we had to develop a civilization and a top- secret invention that could conquer all of the other countries. To do this, we had to collect materials and trade with each other. There were also cultural tasks to be completed. In my group, I took up the job as the person that invents the written language and the person that trades with other groups. Arthur and Kiss worked on architecture, Eugene worked on Law, Emily Barber drew pictures of the materials we needed in order to make the top-secret invention. Our biggest accomplishments as a civilization is bargaining for two forks at a low price and our architectural structures. Our biggest weakness is that we don’t have a lot of materials surplus and we have very little materials. If I could do this again, I would change the fact that we were arguing a lot and not working cooperatively.
