OK, here is a lesson plan on Hammurabi’s Code. It looks like every version of this lesson I wrote is in this folder, so here are all the documents I’ve used to teach this material over time.
First the do-now exercises: here is a context clues worksheet on the verb censure and another on the noun chaos.
Next, the primary documents. Here is first reading on Hammurabi’s Code along with its accompanying worksheet. This is same reading in a second, edited and simpler version of the same reading with its similarly simplified worksheet. Finally, here is a third and even shorter reading and worksheet.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
