Poster Project
Directions:
Using your knowledge of Hammurabi’s Code and the basic structure of emerging societies, create your own code of law. Your code of law would be for modern day America. Your code of law must address at least the following issues:
Roles of men
Roles of women
Roles of children
Religion
Government
Agriculture
Crime & punishments
Buying & selling of property
Marriage/divorce
Education
You have to write this code of law as if there were absolutely no laws in place today. Also, you must give a 1 or 2 sentence explanation as to why each law is necessary and how it benefits the people as a whole. Your justifications need to be turned in as an attachment to your poster
There must be at least 30 entries in your Code.
Title your Code “Code of _________________” Fill in the blank with your name.
Code is due on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH.
We will not work on the code in class – it will have to be done on your own time.
Your code will need to be able to be displayed just like Hammurabi’s was. You will need to write your code down on posterboard (no larger than ½ of a sheet).
Again, we will not be working on this in class, so make sure you are steadily working on it at home!!!!!
