Taj Mahal

The story of the Taj Mahal is one of the most inspiring stories i have ever read. It teaches you about true love and not just liking people of how they are but of how they act.

The Taj Mahal was built because the wife of the prince died. It all started when he was at war and she came with him, she was in labor. On the night of birth she delivered a girl but she was so tired and weak that she died, the last worlds that came out of her mouth before she died was, "show to everyone how much we are in love." So then he thought for many weeks and he was depressed for weeks and weeks because he didnt know how to show toeveryone. Until he had this dream that he and his wife where back together and in love. But once he woke up he figured it out, he would build a tomb to show to everyone how much he loves her. So he did. So the Taj Mahal is for her and it is her tomb.

  

Lost city of Mohenjo

The lost city of Mohenjo seems to be a very interesting and it is very developed. The thing about this city that amazed me was that it had streets and it also had a drainage system.

The city was pretty impressive but the thing that was a big bummer was that it had no temples, palaces and monuments. Another cool things about the city was that they had a watertight pool, which was called the Great bath.

 The pool was located on the top of a dirt pill. Which i dont get is that if the pool was a bath tub or was it a really big pool, because if everyone went int0o the Great bath that would be very unhygienic. The most interesting thing that i found was that the city was on elevated ground because elevated ground is one of the hardest to make a building or buildings.

Grade 7 Reflection

I am choosing three learner profiles, open- minded, communicator and thinker. When i was doing my map for Egypt i worked with Ergi. I was open- minded during that project because i herd and thought of Ergis and my plans to create our map, we figured out how to put our own style of drawing and working in one peace of work. Also in the project of the map i was a thinker, i thought of how i would color and decorate my map. I also had to think how to label and add all the little details in to the map. Like the mountain parts all the rivers and some lakes. A really important thing as well is that i communicated with Ergi, like to tell him if he is doing a good job or to tell him what i think about his work that he is doing. I would tell him to improve, so we would communicate to express our feeling to the work. So i really had to think, be open minded and communicate. So that we could complete the project with a high grade and also be proud of the map.

Civilizations are different for example, the homos they where surrounded mostly by rocks and trees and underbrush. They also might live next to special things, like water, mountains, food etc They had different ways do catch there food from other civilizations and different times. Like the homos hunted with spears, daggers and other weapons. But then in we go further in time, like the Egyptians they built big temples and they where smart where they lived, like water or they lived where there where a lot of animals for food. Egyptians also had different ways to catch there pray like, they used bow and arrow. They had some horses so they could move faster on the ground and attack. But if i went into things like Alexander the great and his armys and how they lived it would be totally different from the ways the Egyptians lived or the homos.         

Egyptian Art Poster

    
  In this piece of art there is a Human and has a head of a jackal. His name is Anubis he is the defender of tombs and of the Ancient Egyptian pyramids. In the picture Anubis is watching over a tomb which is on our right on the bottom corner. Also in the picture are hieroglyphs, the hieroglyphs in this piece of art say, "By Rafa" and on the other side it says, "STKP."  The importance of this picture is to show the placement of this Egyptian god and to show that life back then was hard just like ours today. 

The Importance of the Nile River

How do natural features such as rivers, lakes and mountains help unite people or keep them isolated from each other?
Natural features like rivers, lakes and mountains can unite people by them meeting on the river when passing by. They can also help each other with fishing and they can also trade with one another because of the fish they catch. Another example, is that when the river over flows they get closer because they help one another in many different way like, they can help them get to a safer place or they would help them rescue there family and bring them to safety. The river can unite people in many ways. Mountains can unite people as well like they can, make people find each other on the mountain or they can go hunting together for mountain cat or goat. So now from all those examples you get an idea of how nature can bring people closer or even meet each other. 

My trip down the Nile!!

My muscles soar after a long journey down the Nile from a fishing trip far away. The sun shone red as it settled behind the desert. I saw the shadow of a sphinx as I keep going. I hear the slaves arguing behind the sanguines.
Then i feel my boat jerk a bit, and then i automatically now that i got into a very strong and big current. When i lay down to rest a bit, i look up and see a full sky of stars as bright as a new diamond. When i wake up i look at the bank and then look at the cliffs that hang next to the Nile, i see shiny moonstone and i heard if you go South then, you end up in Nubia and the cliffs there have a lot of Granite. Then i feel a hard wind of sand hit my face and then i realize that there was a small sand storm. The water started to get stronger and more fierce. Then after  2 hours of strong winds i realize that i am in the Lower part/ the Nile Delta. My trip is over, that was the best 30 hours of my life.

This poster was on Phonicians and there life and how there empire worked. This is my groups poster. In my group there was Jude, Jovanna and me. I think that our group did a great job even though some people were not there. The next time i do a poster on something like this i would really like to do it on Persians and there lifes and how they conquered other lands.
