1. Ancient Civilizations Reflection
My Civilization: Ancient China
The Research Journey:
My favorite part of the research journey was taking notes because
I liked to find some details.My best research question was “What
was farming like in Ancient China?” because I wanted to know
about farming in Ancient China.While doing my research, I found it
difficult to change my small question to my own sentence because
changing to my own sentences is my weakness.The most
interesting thing I learned about the structure of society was that at
the top were the nobles, scholars and landowners. Next came the
farmers, even poor farmers, because they worked hard to feed the
country. I think that 4 great inventions were an important legacy of
ancient China because now we use the 4 great inventions too.
Report Writing
I am proud of my report because I wrote good detail and I can
dolittle bit about my weaknesses in writing.While writing the report,
I became better at writing.If I wrote it again, I would improve my
report by using the past tense more.
Archeology Presentation
I enjoyed making my artifacts because I want to show all the
information about Ancient China.I found it difficult to remember the
palm cards. I am most proud of my ancient artifacts because they
have many meanings.I enjoyed the archeology presentation
because I couldspeak my report.I found it difficult to show and tell
because some artifacts were broken and I forgot some palm card
sentences.
What else?
During this unit I especially enjoyed finding information in detail.
I took extra time to practice my palm cards.After this unit, I might
continue to learn more about Ancient China.
