Video Number Two (Original Version)

Sol and Natalie Ancient Egypt

The Egyptians where amazing, they were able to create the worlds most amazing monuments without the help from advanced technology. But why did they want to create all these amazing structures? Was there a point? Or was it for plain pleasure?Well I think the Egyptians were all about leaving a footprint in the world. They had their pharaohs mummified to last thousands of years, for people to find and remember, and I think this is the same reason why they made such wonderful things. I think they wanted to have the whole world remember them and think of them through their amazing structures.

This is the same reason I chose one of my similar monuments to be the twin towers. I think the Malaysian government made the Twin Towers to represent Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur. I think they wanted people to notice that they weren't just a third world country, that they were an advanced city and a powerful one, finally I think they wanted other people to think of them through the twin towers, as a strong and powerful nation just like the Egyptians. My next choice for a similar monument is the not exactly a specific monument, but in Spain there are many sculptures dedicated to the bull. I think this ties together with the Egyptians very well because they built the Sphinx which is a dedication to their love for cats. And in Spain the bull fight a lot of the time, so in honor of their sacrifice they make bulls their "logo" When I say this I mean, when you think of Australia you think of kangaroo or Koala, when you think of New Zealand you think of the Kiwi, when you think of Africa you might think, Giraffe. Just like these countries, when you think of Spain you now think of bull.

Google Docs is really helpful for group projects, especially if it is a large group. Because even if you live in completely different locations, you can still communicate and work on the project together. Although I say these things about how google docs can help with collaboration when your group is not around, it did not help me as much in this project. I say this because for this assignment, my friend Natalie and I worked together and we live in the same area. So whenever we needed to work I would or she would come over to each others houses to work on the project. So the only time we really needed google docs is when working on the research when we were not together. But I still think google docs is extremely useful. And I want to continue to use it for a long amount of time.

I think the school wide learning result for this particular project would definitely be Collaborate Constructively. This is because I think this project had everything to do with working together. From this project I learned that you needed to be very organized to be able to finish this whole project well and on time. First of all you needed to get all your information on your pharaoh in one or two days time, I thought this was the most challenging part of the whole project because I always struggle to gather a vast amount of information and write in your own words in a well written way. Second to you had to compile all this information in to a script for your imovie and have Mrs. Narsiman check it before you could start filming. (this took about one class) Lastly you had to start filming ( this took me a while to complete since my partner and I had to re film quite a lot of times to get it right and almost flawless) Looking back I am actually amazed at the amount of time it took for the whole class to complete this project, it was incredibly small! I think this just proves that if you concentrate and you are organized with help from a partner a project that could take someone two weeks could take you about less than only one!
