Reflection for IMOVIE

1. Why do you think Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created monuments?




The Pharaohs built monuments so that they would forever be remembered throughout the Egyptian empire. Basically so that every time someone looked at the monument they remembered the great leader that they had once. Like King Khufu he built the Great Pyramid so they would remember him after he died. I also think that they built them to show how powerful they were.



2. What monuments in our society are similar? (be sure to provide explanations and graphics).








The Great China Wall, Twin Tower, Eiffel tower are all monuments that their country built because they wanted something that no one has seen before. These are monuments that someone wants the whole world to now about. All these three monuments were built to be there forever. The great wall of China was there also to protect it's people.







3. How did the using google docs as the main portal for collaboration help you with this assignment?





You can put info on the google doc and then the next day your partner might use the info that you put on the google doc for his part of the work . You could also add to the info your friend put on it. You could see what information your partner put on the google doc. The best thing about google docs is that you don't have to sit right next to your partner when you need to work on it, you can sit at home and work . You or your partner can see what one of you put on the google doc all the time.





4. What did you learn from this assignment?





I learnt a lot of different stuff about Ancient Egypt Pharaohs. The one I mainly got to learn about is was King Khufu who was a Pharaoh. Pharaohs are like kings,leaders of their country and have a lot of power. They build buildings that they want to last for ever, the building shows their power. King Khufu built the Great Pyramid so it would last forever.




5. What was challenging?

The challenging part about this assignment was to find a quiet place and to read the text that was on the computer. It was hard to find a quiet place because everyone in our class was everywhere where we wanted to be to record. It was also hard to record because there was so much noise around us. It was hard to read the text when we were recording because sometimes you look at the wrong paragraph and then you have to do it all over again.




6. Which schoolwide learning results were evident in this assignment?



Me and Gerald sochoolwide learning results were Communicate Effectively and Collaborate Constructively. We communicated by chatting and talking about what we needed to finish in class and what we needed to do at home. We also discussed who was going to be the interviewer and who was the professor. We discussed what we were going to say and how we were going to do it. We collaborated good because we did half of the work each. We solved all or problems.
