Day One Simulation Reflection- Ancient Mesopotamia

During the activity, I personally did most of the laws. As a group, we divided the work load up, so for Larry, he did most of the written language and the trading, Joy did much of the architectural planning for the temple, Louis and I did the laws and policies, while Larry and I tried to build the invention. Our biggest accomplishment as a civilization was managing to get the supplies for our top-secret invention because getting supplies is harder when you don’t have much natural supplies. Our weakest point as a civilization was trying to agree on one point because some of us thought we needed to create an original temple, while some of us thought that we need to use the plan to copy. If I could do this activity again, I would change how fast and efficient we worked. We got the temple drawn, laws written, language figured out and trading done, but we didn’t finish the top-secret invention. The top-secret invention is the most important one, so our “society” can take over faster, but we didn’t finish it quickly.
