My Reflection
I really enjoyed learning about the Ancient Egyptians and their ways when they lived such a long time ago. I found them really intriguing and from researching about the people I can easily pick up similarities between them and my own life. For example the main ingredients in their diet like wheat is very commonly used in my food. Also when I go to a doctor I am given different treatments depending on my injury or sickness. The Ancient Egyptians were ultimately the ones who shaped the civilisations after them into finally the society I am living in now. Even though things have drastically changed, nothing could have been there if they didn't take the huge step by settling down and providing food from a surplus of agriculture. I would have loved to see what it would have been like in their lives, with less technology and desert surrounding me out of my community. I would like to see the famous monuments they made and maybe visit some of the historic sites they created. I enjoyed researching about the ways they lived life and struggles they had. Also the unique views they had on like religion and magic being a part of everything in their lives which is rarely seen now days. The problems they faced would be easily fixed with modern technology so it is great to see how this has developed and moved forward. Medicine, communications, writing, religion and social class from Ancient Egypt has played a crucial role in influencing the modern day society.
I didn't find researching for information very difficult as Ancient Egypt has been a widely popular history topic. The live binder was really helpful as it had lots of websites which I could use. It was just hard restraining myself from going and talking about stuff that wasn't relevant to the topics I chose. After I had taken notes I found it really easy writing paragraphs after that. It was time consuming but I think that I did a good job at writing my paragraphs. The only main thing I wish I could change was my time management. We had got 4 weeks to do it and in the beginning I felt it was such a long time so I didn't get right into it even though I had a lot of free time to work on it. I wish that I did work on it then so I wouldn't be so busy in this last week. Also then I could have gotten my Humanities assessment over done with and worked on my other work.
I found using Weebly so easy even though it was my first time. I heard from others that it was free and easy to use do I decided to make me website on it. The themes were really creative and I just had to add my own photos. I think my presentation of my website turned out really well as I spent a lot of time on it and trying to get things right.
I was lucky to come across no major problems when doing this assessment.
I am really happy with the result of my website as I put my 100% effort into it. The layout of everything is more than what I expected it to be as I didn't know you were able to do so much when creating your own website. I think all of my information I have collected is substantial and my paragraphs are written correctly. I think all the effort and time I put in this website has really paid off in the outcome.
