 ired\; click through for the registration link. Zoom information will 
 be provided via confirmation email to registered participants. Expandi
 ng the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops
  and online resources for teachers. Writing is such an integral part o
 f our everyday lives that it is difficult to imagine how we could live
  without it. But just like so many of the other technologies that have
  become essential to us\, writing had to be invented. Scholars studyin
 g the ancient past have discovered that writing was invented independe
 ntly in four different places: in Mesopotamia (in modern-day Iraq) aro
 und 3300-3200 BCE\; in ancient Egypt around 3200 BCE\; in ancient Chin
 a around 1200 BCE\; and in ancient Mesoamerica (in modern-day Mexico) 
 around 1000 BCE. In this workshop\, we will focus on the invention of 
 writing in Mesopotamia.
