Egyptian i movie reflection

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

I believe ancient Egyptian Pharaohs constructed monuments for a variety of different reasons. Firstly they would have built  a couple of monuments (statues) to praise the gods or represent them. They made statues of a few different animals to represent some of the animal gods such as Anubis (face of a jackal) and Ra (face of a bird). They also constructed monuments to maybe praise themselves. Some Pharaohs constructed giant statues of themselves for pride  and power. Khufu a great Pharaoh constructed the pyramids of Giza which took about 30 years in the process. They were made from millions of sand blocks that weighed up to 2 tons! He constructed them to make a landmark in history as well as providing a good resting place for his death. He believed that being preserved well would do him well in the next life.

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

Monuments nowadays are alike monuments years ago in the Egyptian days are alike in many ways. Most of the monuments nowadays represent the same things as monuments years ago. The main point of great structures is to leave a great land mark in history or to make a fine work of art that you can look back on. All the famous architects who had built great structures are respected and remembered as time moves on.

                                                       
  The pyramids of Giza were alike to  ...                                                           The Eiffel tower
   Because they are both come through as famous monuments in time. The architects may have been trying to  express other things through the construction of these great monuments but they come through as great   landmarks in history.

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

Having Google docs as the main page for our work was very helpful because it was easy to access and was a great to store information like note taking and our script. it was also very easy to display when we were filming our I movie. We could open it on a new tab and read it while recording.

4. What did you learn from this assignment?

From doing this assignment I have learned a lot. Firstly when taking notes you have to stay on task and stay on topic. Staying on task applies for everything in humanities but I am just including it here because I thought it was very important on this specific topic. Staying on topic is very important when it comes to writing notes. You could be getting facts for Egyptian farming and end up talking about going green. When writing the script you have to write it like you would write a script for anything else. It has to be formal and it has to make sense. And finally for the I movie you had to stay serious and try to pronounce all your words correctly.

5. What was challenging?

For me the most challenging part of making our I movie was one certain part of the filming. It was around the end when I was asked "how do monuments constructed by your pharaoh    . I had a long response to that question and had a variety of confusing statements inside it. Such as when I was talking about the pictures inside Tutankhamen's tomb.

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

I believe I collaborated constructively and communicated effectively. I collaborated constructively when I was writing the script and taking notes because I made good use of time. I communicated effectively when I wanted to get my thoughts, knowledge and ideas across to my partner.
