What We Value

Students will use the Assyrian Bird-Headed Deity limestone relief to talk about what they value and what is valued in their culture in general. Their emphasis on material possessions, most usually identified by students first, will set the backdrop for a discussion about the importance of food produ More…ction and supply and why it doesn’t usually come to mind first in a list of what’s valued. Students will then research and write a creative or factual piece comparing the Assyrian Bird-Headed Deity with modern methods of ensuring food production for continued livelihood.
