For the past few days in Humanities, we have been working on a project called Ancient Egypt - Pharaoh Assignment. Our job is suppose to do an Imovie on it to describe the Pharaoh you were assigned and post it on YouTube. Hope you enjoy it!!

I think the Pharaohs created the monuments because they all want their Kindom to look cool. They also create monuments to let other people remember them and because they have a very strong belief on Gods and other Godness. The one me and Harry are doing, Khufu, was one of them and that's why he built the Great Pyramid of Giza, which took him about 26 years to finish it.
The monuments that are similar to the Pharaohs is that we have lots and lots today. Some are for living like apartments and some are for offices and some are for other emergency uses and help centers. The monuments we have today are way better and a lot more variety than the ancient Egyptians. Churches or in Malaysia, Mosques are like the places where the Egyptians pray to their God in ancient Egypt. But where did I found all this wonderful information? Where did I put it on so me and my partner can collaborate so good? Of course, it's...
Google Docs!!!!! It made it easier for us to collaborate together whenever we are because it is on the Internet. Also if you save it on your USB, then usually, only one person can work on it at home and if you ever forgot to bring your thumb drive to next day in school, then you will be in deep trouble. But we have learnt lots of things too.
The things we've learnt from this assignment are that Khufu, the great pyramid builder, didn't build it himself. But the people who helped building it wasn't forced and they're Not slaves. Instead, they were paid for doing so.
The challenging part of this presentation I have found hard to get over with is mostly searching for information. The searching part was annoying too because when you type the keywords in Google, some websites after the search didn't match at all what we were searching. Instead, it just popped up with this random text saying something about having BEEP and downloads and other things we don't need to know about.
The most obvious school-wide learning results is Collaborate Constructively, Communicate Effectively and Reasoning Critically. There are also others such Learning Enthusiastically and much more!!
Thank you for watching our presentation and reading our reflective.
Enjoy :D
