Today in Western Civ we went over the codes of Hammurabi and I thought that the class today was actually not very fun. I thought this because we just looked at blogs and talked. But at the same time we went over a lot and we actually learned a lot about the codes so I thought that it was a very fun class. But the main point of this blog is the notes on pages 6-11 notes. So here they are.
