  1. What predictions can I make about this reading? First I’ll look at the heading, what do I already know? What specific things do I think it will tell me? Now I’ll read the paragraph. Were my predictions right? What things did it tell me that I didn’t predict? Do Now: The Oldest Known Map The earliest identified map is a clay tablet that dates back to about 2300 B.C. made by an unknown map maker. The map was found in many pieces that had to be carefully put back together by an Archaeologist. This ancient map shows the ancient country of Babylon on the Euphrates river. An ocean and seven islands surround Babylon, each of which have a short description. One is described as “the island where bird ends not his fight”, meaning it is too far for birds to fly to. This map served as a start for many maps to come.
