Taking notes from textbook

Today in class, the students needed more time to record notes from their textbooks. I thought that I was already finished taking notes, but then, I asked Mr. Schick if I was fine. He basically informed me that I needed more notes in my notebook. So I took more notes in my book today, and hopefully it is enough for him to approve of. Hammurabi recognized that a single, uniform code of laws would help to unify the diverse groups within his empire. He collected existing rules, judgements, and laws into the code of Hammurabi. He also had the code engraved in stone, and copies were printed all over his empire. In about 2,000 B.C, nomadic warriors known as Amorites invaded Mesopotamia, gradually, the Amorites overwhelmed the Sumerians and established their capital at Babylon, on the Euphrates River. The code lists 282 specific laws dealing with everything that affected the community, including family relations, business conduct, and crime. Although the code applied to everyone, it set different punishments for rich and poor and for men and women. It frequently applied the principle of retaliation (an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth). Nearly two centuries after Hammurabi's reign, the Babylonian Empire, which had become much smaller, fell to the neighboring Kassites. Farmers planted grain in this rich, new soil and irrigated the fields with river water. To provide water, they dug irrigation ditches that carried river water to their fields and allowed them to produce a surplus of crops. That is mostly all the notes I recorded in my notebook today, and that is what all the students in the class did as well.
