In history we learned about Ancient Rome. Mrs. Hibler had us do a poem on the fall of Rome as a cool project. The poem had to have ten lines, and explain the fall of Rome. I liked this project because it was a creative way to learn about history. I like the way I added the flaming skull border, it adds a fiery aliment.

Chinese Unit
In history we are learning about Chinese history. Did you know that the Chinese build great sailing ships and traveled the Indian Ocean? Well I didn't until we started the unit. We had a China simulation, and we had an emperor who had to pick people from each province to be in the government. I liked this unit because we learned all about the Chinese culture. We also watched videos about ancient China. |
Black Plague
In History we learned about the Black Plague. The Black Plague was the time between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. We did Cornell notes and a packet on the Black Plague. I liked this unit because we watched a parody video about the plague and it was funny. I learned a lot about the plague fron this packet. |
Ancient Civilizations
In History we learned about Ancient Civilizations. The civilizations we learned about were the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. All of the civilizations used humans as a sacrifice to their gods. We watched The Emperor's New Groove because it showed things about the Inca. One thing was that they thought llamas were sacred. They also thought that they didn't have to care about the peasants because they could grow food on their own. The movie showed all of these things that the Inca did. |
