Social+Studies

This is my social studies folder!

Our social studies unit was on ancient Egypt and we had write a research paper on it. The most successful part of my project for me was the note taking. I could take a lot of notecards with a variety of things about my topic. The part I was least successful part of my project was the ordering. I had a little trouble putting my idea's into the right groups. That is one thing I will try to do to improve my work. The other thing I will do for a long term assignment is to get as much work done in school that I can. The last thing I will do to improve is to read my work when it was done. I felt I gave my best effort in my work on all my projects. Over all I think I did pretty good as a final project.

The civilization I liked learning about the most is ancient greece. I really enjoyed learning about all the different types of myths. It was interesting to know about the background of many gods and stories. I also thought it was interesting how many real discoveries came from myths. Such as the Sir Arthur Evans discovering the minoans in crete. And the real story of the trojan war. I thought it was interesting how the people of that time could live. No one had the type of resources we have today so it would be very difficult to live. I also liked learning about the religion. Each of these civilizations have different forms of there own religion. I think I can identify key facts better. Rather than finding sparkly tidbits. I could also learn more about geography. So I know more modern day countries, and present day countries.
