This activity allows students to look at a sample of Hammurabi's Code and then translate seven of them into their own words. Graphic Organizer Print outs are provided in both PDF and MS WORD format. Also, sections of the laws can be printed on the back (four different options). If you print student copies with different laws on the back, it makes it easy to guide discussion, group students together, scaffold, etc.
This is a great primary source activity for a study of ancient history and Mesopotamia. Enjoy!
