As the Historian you are responsible for researching the daily lives of ancient Sumerians and then using the information you find to complete a chart.  You will then use that information to write a diary entry of a person from Ancient Mesopotamia.  This will be a piece of historical writing so you want to work in as much information as you can from your chart.  Your team members may come across information useful to you so always communicate with them. There are some obvious questions that you might ask yourself.
*What aspects of daily life shall I research?
*Were there social class divisions?
*Did they have religion? 
*Were there other peoples that they interacted with? 
*Can I draw parallels between Sumerians and other peoples?
*Did they have "jobs"?
