The first part of each box states, "write a code that supports your opinion". For this section the students must pick a law that goes with their topic sentence. If they said they thought the laws were unfair, they should pick one law that is unfair. On this line they should write down the law exactly how it is written in their packet.
An example could be: "If a son strike his father, his hands shall be hewn (cut) off."
The second part of each box states, "translations in your own words". For this section, the students should write their law in their own words. An example would be: "If a child hits their father, their hand will be cut off".
Finally, the box state, "This quote demonstrates that Hammurabi's Codes were ___________ because __________________". The students should write fair or unfair on the first line, and then explain why they feel it is fair or unfair. An example would be: "This quote demonstrates that Hammurabi's Codes were unfair because a the child could be limited in what they can do in life or even die just because of one bad decision".
