Fair or Cruel? The Code of King Hammurabi

Ruler of Ancient Mesopotamia

Today's task is intended to educate each of you about the most famous King of Mesopotamia: Hammurabi. The task is also designed to simulate a real-world scenario where you are expected to learn it on your own. Do the research. Make a claim. Explain your beliefs. Cite resources.

With freedom comes responsibility. The only person motivating yourself to accomplish today's task is you. I will guide and suggest, but you do the driving. 

No great works of art are done in fifteen minutes. Expect your first, or even second finished tasks to be rejected - this is part of creating a solid piece of writing. Of anything, really. 

Good luck. May the odds ever be in your . . . Ok, no Hunger Games reference needed. Good luck.
