For the assignment, we will think about the environmental issues covered in the readings and combine these to Chief Seattle's quote regarding the concept that "all
things are connected".
First, you will create a piece of art or a useful object from recycled materials.
Second, review Lesson One's content on how to form paragraphs and write 2
paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each. Paragraph one will explain the specific art
or useful object and also include the recycled materials it is made from. Paragraph
two will explain the connection to Chief Seattle's quote above and why this is
important to you personally. The topic sentence in each paragraph should be the
first sentence.
When you submit the assignment, include a clear picture of the art or useful object
and then your 2 paragraphs in one Microsoft Word document.

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. but it is in india, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. long before the first pyramids were built in egypt, the ancient sumerians traded with the people of harappa and mohenjo daro, who lived along the indus river. unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. so the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. these hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 b. c., and were carefully memorized. only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. the hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. people believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. by placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? select two options. "in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"
