Writing assignments will include paragraphs, short stories, and writing from pictures. Topics will explore the wonders of the ancient world and the civilizations of Sumer, Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Asia Minor, and Asia—the people’s ideas, traditions, systems of government, feats, and wonderful skills.
