Sang Won reflects on his research project about ancient Egypt. He enjoyed reading books to learn about how Egyptian society was structured and found sailing boats to be an important Egyptian legacy. While writing his report, Sang Won improved his typing and reading skills. For his archeology presentation, Sang Won made clay artifacts, including an authentic-looking pyramid block. He was proud to share his new knowledge about Egypt but found preparing and giving the presentation tiring.

1. Ancient Civilizations Reflection
My Civilization: Egypt By: Sang Won
The Research Journey:
My favorite part of the research journey was reading books because
it gave me lots of knowledge.My best research question was “How
was society structured?” because it had lots of answers so it made me
proud.While doing my research, I found it difficult to find information
because some books didn’t have lots of relevant information, only a
little.The most interesting thing I learned about the structure of
society was that Egyptians believed that the Horus was inside the
pharaoh’s body. I really don’t believe it!
I think that sailing boatsare an important legacy of ancient Egypt
because boats helped people moving to other country to trade, and
helped warfare.
Report Writing
I am proud of my report because I put lots of information in it and I
had learned it all from the books. While writing the report, I became
better at typing, and reading. If I wrote it again, I would improve my
report by writing more words and information.
Archeology Presentation
I enjoyed making my artifacts becauseI liked making things with
clay.I found it difficult to make a nice shape.I am most proud of my
pyramid piece artifact because it looks like quite authentic, like a
sandstone block.I enjoyed the archeology presentation because I
think lots of people learned lots about ancient Egypt. But it was too
tiring! I was mostly interested when peoples were interested in my
activity.While preparing for this presentation, I became better at
speaking loudly.
What else?
During this unit I especially enjoyed the archeology exhibition.
I took extra time to write the report for my archeology
presentation.After this unit, I would like to continue to read books
about ancient Egypt, to get even more knowledge.
