Provide 9 songs that you think best reflect three (3) civilizations we been learning about so far, located in Mesopotamia / Egypt / India.  Each civilization should have three (3) songs that you think best reflect something within that civilization's history.  Students need to list the following for each song: 

Civilization: ___________

Song 1 

· Title: Name of the song,

· Artist(s),

· Explanation: Why did you choose the song for that civilization. I will be most interested in your analysis as to why you chose that particular song. Analysis that states: "Because this song is cool" is not sufficient. Think about the civilization's culture, themes of art or architecture, political issues, religious practices, roles of women, etc. Be mindful of your selections. 

· Link to the song you selected -- if possible.

· Reply: be sure to reply to at least three classmates' posts

* note: students may not choose The Bangles "Walk Like an Egyptian"  or  They Might Be Giants "The Mesopotamians"--- TOO EASY!!!!
