  4. I have enjoyed the Qin and the Zhou Dynasty, because it shows how china was build up from the diffrent dynasties that made the government of china today and the writing system they had and how it has changed over the years.

  5. I am in a first responder class called Emergency Concepts and it teaches us how to respond the correct way to an emergency. Since I want to become a EMT/Paramedic, this class has been my favorite. We get to practice real life situatuations and learn how to react to them. In here we get certified in CPR and when we turn 18 we can nationally certify to be a first responder. It was my absolute favorite class

  7. The only project that i've liked so far is the project we did about the different governments. I liked this project because we weren't rushed to do this. Since we weren't rushed, I actually got the chance to learn something. Other projects are rushed so that we don't have time to learn things because we are trying to do them before the deadline. Also, we actually got the chance to present to the class why it would be useful for our government instead of just turning in work.

  8. So far this semester I have been interested inthe one we did on the different empires. When we told about the religion, government,and othe thing of that nature.I really don't know why I find it interesting. Maybe because it was just plain and simple.

  9. The only project i've liked so far was the facebook page.I learned more information about Alexander the Great. Hopefully I will like the other projects that we are going to have. Also I liked that we didn't have to rush on this project because we usually don't have time to complete our projects in class.

  11. I liked the project my group presented on qin and zhou dynasty.They were very interesting in learning about the different parts of china even though my group wasn't successful in working together.lol

  12. I think that my favorite project this year had to have been making a book for a child in the 3rd or 4th grade about Chemistry. It was really fun to make, but it was also challenging because it was hard to make it simple for younger kids to understand & to get the point across. But all around, it was a really fun project for me and I really enjoyed it.

  13. The topics I have found the most interesting are probably the ones we're on now with the Olmec, Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs. I think it's so interesting how they come up with all these reasons for why everything works the way it does. They didn't just make up reason, like the found the answers. They were extremely advanced for the ages of their cultures. I think it's incredible how they made all of the temples and places of worship and sacrifice. Even though the sacrifice thing is a little odd, but it's still very cool. I think the way Incas terraced their land blows my mind. I would never have just thought "let's cut slots into the mountainside so we can plant crops there". It really is fascinating.

  14. Empires project(even though I had my group got an empire I had never heard of)wish we could of done Ancient Egypt, for some reason always liked learning about Egypt

  15. So far the project that I have enjoyed the most was the Phoencians project. It gave my group members and I an opportunity to learn anout their religion, culture, government, and their social classes.

  16. So far this semester, the empire project was most interesting.My group did the Qin and Zhou Dynasty.I found this project interesting because I didn't know how China got its name and how Shi Huang unified China.

  17. i have liked the united nations project we did in current issues because we were creative in doing our own poster repersenting the united nations and i learned alot about it because i looked researched alot about it

  18. The topic that i found interesting was about the Mayan & Gupta Empires. I find this topic interesting because it caught my attention on how they were related and how similar they ended up being. Sometimes I just picture myself in that time period and I wonder how it was and how interesting it would have been to live during that time.

  19. The project that I enjoyed the most was defiantly the Facebook page! I learned the most out of that project, because it was something I could relate to. I love facebook, so it was something I could enjoy doing! I did mine on Aristotle, and in making his page I learned things about his family, his school work, who his professor was and how he taught Alexander the Great. I just felt like it was something I was capable of doing, and I would love to do more stuff like that!

  20. the topic i have found the most intersting is when we was talking about krama. it taught me that if you do good or bad it will follow you for the rest of your life. even though i dont like taking about dying it still open my eyes to the real world

  21. the project that i found the most interesting was the brochure project...because it was the easiest and it really flowed through out the class.....

  22. THe project that i liked the most this semester is the facebook project. This project gave us something to relate to while we were learning at the same exact time.

  23. To me,the project that I liked the was the one where we had to create a fake facebook page over a person that we got to choose.In my opinion that was the easiest project that I could relate back to in this class since just about everyone uses facebook and I actually knew how to set the project up.
    I hope that we get some more projects like that one because it was super fun and I really enjoyed it.

  28. So far this semester i have enjoyed our newest project about the mayan, aztecs and incas. ive found out some interesting things about there civilizations that i hadnt known before. i also read some off the wall tings about the mayans which kind of had me confused as in to why someone would even consider those options. this project, regardless of how much work it took, was very interesting and i am looking foward to discussing south american civilizations...

  29. the project that i enjoyed the best is. The qin and zhou. I learned alot about china. it was very intresting and i had fun doing it.

  30. i liked the project where we did info on the early civilizations like the Mesopotamian.i really would like to do a project where we have to make something though.i think that would be cool.

  31. I LIKE WHEN WE LEARNED ABOUT THE EMPIRES

    ReplyDelete
  32. The project that I liked the best was the Maya, Inca, Aztec, Olmec powerpoint project. I learned alot and learned that they are all similar in different ways. The project was pretty much working at your own pace and i enjoyed it.

  33. i like the project when we was in groups? and we had to takl about the kings and rulers of the ancient time? i had a good easy time doing that? i would want to do a project when have to make something? and tell about its culture, and physical aspects!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. The government project was the BEST project to me! We learned alot of information and we also were not rushed. These other projects are really stressful because I dont feel as though we have enough time to actually have them completed "GREAT" like they should actually be. Because of the amount of time we had for it, that is why i think i learned the most information.

  35. So far this semester the project that i have enjoyed the most is the project we are working on now about the mayan and aztec empires. The reason why this interests me is because i like the arts that they made and their language, and calenders. So far this is the coolest project, but im waiting on the game board project that will top it all. :)

  37. Topic A: So far this semester, i enjoyed the project with the different civilizations such as Olmecs, Mayans, Inca, and Aztecs. I enjoyed learning and doing research on the different civilizations. The more I read the more i learn about these civilizations. We probally wouldn't be were we are today if it wasn't for these civilizations.

  38. I LIKED THE PROJECT ABOUT ANCIENT EGYPT I HAD ALOT OF HELP AND I TOOK MY TIME TO LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT IT AND I SEEM MORE ABOUT EGYPT. MY GROUP MEMBERS BOTH DID THERE JOBS.

  39. The project that I have enjoyed the most as well as learned alot from was the project where we talked about Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt,the Qin and Zhou dynasty, the Maury empire, and the Gupta empire. This project was covering standard 1 and 2 and i still understand these standards today. The most interesting part to me was that although they were different they were connected to each other in a way. For instance: their different styles of writing was similar yet different. I believe that I learned so much during this project because we took our time talking about each and we also had a session where we went to each group and talked to them about their complex society.

  40. I like doing our project on the Qin and Zhou dynasties because we had a fair amount of time to complete the project and i felt that i learned all the information from the other groups because when the tests came around i knew all the information for the tests and felt prepared.

  41. B. I learned the most from our government project. I think that this was because we weren't as rushed to complete it. I am learning from the other projects, I just feel that I am not gaining as much as I could be due to time restraints. I enjoyed this project also because it was the project where we got to pick our groups. Because of this, more work was done, in my opinion.

  42. I liked the project that my group worked on for the Phoenicians. I learned a lot during this project because I researched many things and I did a project that I really enjoyed. I think that that when you work on a project with people that you enjoy working with, you are more confortable and learn more.

  43. I learned most when did the project about Qhou and zin. I also like when did the project about the different types of religion.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I found the concept map project most interesting. I was able ti work very well with my partner and I also learned alot about the different religions. These types of projects enable me to learn better because i can actually see the information that i obtained on a chart.

  45. i like the project that we did about the diffrent goverments? it was cool and maybe i would want to do it again?

    ReplyDelete
  46. The project that i really enjoyed the most was about the different goverent.I think that this project really taught us alot about different civilization.We wasn't rushed into this project like we have been doing the last couple ones.I am learning from the other projects we have been doing, but not in enough time period to learn it all at once.

  47. I had fun with the empire project. I learned the locations and resources of the empires.

  48. My favorite project this year has actually been a chemistry project. We had to give an element a personality, and a story. We also created a mask to show the elements personality. I was assigned the element copper, and gave my mask a distinct personality. I even went as far as creating a dating profile for my element "single electron field looking for a lucky element with two electrons". It was a lot of fun, and i had a lot of laughs, but most of all i learned a lot about the periodic table.

  49. i like the project about the different empire. it was more of a hands on project and thats why i learned so much from it because i learn better when i draw or use some type of creativity in my work. so thats the project that i liked and i think i benefited from the most.

  52. I found the Mesopotamian society to be the most interesting to study. Their way of living differs from any other I've read about in many ways, so I enjoyed learning about it.
