Ancient Egypt Pharaoh Assignment

Question 1. "Why do you think Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created monuments?"

I think that the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created the monuments so that the people can remember the monuments throughout the year and to let the world know it. The reason why the pharaohs wanted the people to remember is because when the people look at the monument, they can think of the pharaoh who created it. I chose to let the world know it because the monument can be famous. The monuments can attract the people in the world so that when they think of a certain monument, they can think of where the monument is.  For example today, there is the "Statue of Liberty" in the U.S and people can remember it because the world knows it.

Question 2. "What monuments in our society are similar? (be sure to provide explanations and graphics).".

Some monuments that are similar to our society are the "Great Wall of China", "Statue of Liberty", "Twin Towers", "Eiffel Tower",etc. The "Great Wall of China" is located in China, "The Statue of Liberty" is located in the United States of America, "The Twin Towers" is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the "Eiffel Tower" is located in Paris, France.

3. How did the using google docs as the main portal for collaboration help you with this assignment?


Google Docs is a place where you can work with other people on a document. It's really useful because without google docs, we can't actually work with other people. I used to work on "Microsoft Word" in fourth grade with my friend. We worked on one computer and it was really uncomfortable. 

4. What did you learn from this assignment?

This assignment has helped me learn more about Senusret the first,etc. At first, I had no clue of Ancient Egypt except for the gods. After the assignment, I've gained more knowledge about the rulers of Egypt,etc.

5. What was challenging?

I think that making the movie was the challenging thing for this assignment. My partner was Julian and we only completed 1/4 on the first day due to the noise. The result was that we had to record it in the bathroom beside the art room.

6. Which schoolwide learning results were evident in this assignment?

I think that thinking creatively,  etc. The reason why it's thinking creatively is because you have to be imaginative to make your movie. In our movie, we pretended that the school was Ancient Egypt and Julian time travelled back in time but it was actually a dream.
