I believe that there could be many answers, but the most common would be that they built monuments to show how powerful, or special they were. They might have wanted to show to the
future people that they were in power in a certain time. My pharaoh, Senusret 1
built 'The White Chapel'. This he built in a unique fashion, just to celebrate his 30th year as a ruler. So I believe there could be a variety of reasons for this.
2. What monuments in our society are similar? (be sure to provide explanations and graphics).
Societies around the world, have monuments to keep in memory of a time. The pyramids of the ancient Egyptians,Pyramids of the ancient Egyptians could be compared to the Eiffel Tower which is similar in shape to the pyramids. I also believe, coffins that we have nowadays are similar to sarcophagus's, for they both hold corpses and they are both buried. (Either in a pyramid or the ground)
3. How did the using google docs as the main portal for collaboration help you with this assignment?
Google Docs proved itself useful from when we created the Imovie, because it held the script of what we should say. It held all the facts that Shin Young and I used to create the script. Google Docs was also easier, because first of all it was connected to our email, and second our script or facts were almost impossible to
lose, because we would not have to save it on a thumb drive, (a thumb drive is easy to lose work with).
4. What did you learn from this assignment?
I learnt mostly a lot of facts about my pharaoh, Ex: Senusret the first, built the White Chapel.People believe that the White Chapel was covered in gold on the inside, and covered in script on the outside. And was built for the celebration of Senustret's 30th year of ruling. There were also interesting facts, ex: Senusret had possible daughters, Nensed, Itakayet, and Neferuptah. Nensed's name appeared on a plate frag
ment that was found outside of a temple. Itakayet's name was inscribed on a bowl found near his pyramid. Finally, Neferuptah's name was inscribed onto an ivory wand found near his pyramid. I also learnt a few facts of how to solve an Imovie problem.(Shin young and I had a problem to record sounds for our I movie, so we spent a long period of time figuring what the solution was).
5. What was challenging?
I presume that the hardest part was that Shin Young (my partner) and I had problems to record the sound from the Imovie. Because of this we spent 3/4s of the time we were given in class to find the solution. Luckily we managed.
6. Which schoolwide learning results were evident in this assignment?
I believe that there were a few Schoolwide Learning Results, (6 SLRs), evident on this assignment. The most explicit SLRs were Communicate Effectively, Collaborate Constructively and Learning Enthusiastically. There are some other
SLRS that were used, (the fourth one) Reasoning Critically, but the three (Communicate Effectively, Collaborate Constructively and Learning Enthusiastically) were the most important.
