Why do you think Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created monuments?
I think the pharaohs made monuments in honor of themselves. For example, Hatshepsut made Djeser-Djeseru in honor of herself, with scenes of her reign covering the walls. But, some pharaohs created monuments for gods and other great ones.
What monuments in our society are similar?
Some monuments that relate to those in the past are like The Washington monument, the one where Abraham Lincoln sits in a giant chair (all made out of cement.) People had made that in honor of him, since he was a very well respected president. There's also monuments of gods for people of those religions to respect, since they believe in it very much.
How did the using google docs as the main portal for collaboration help you with the assignment?
Since it was online and Shannon and I both had internet, it was easy to access to work on the script and note taking. Having the script actually helped a lot since we got in all the videos done in about 20 minutes.
What did you learn from this assignment?
Well, of course, I learned more about Hatshepsut's life and the achievements she did (1st female pharaoh, promoter of Egyptian trade, etc), and I also found out the key is: Organization.
What was challenging?
For Shannon and I, it was getting all of the videos, pictures and conversation on to IMovie. Her laptop was loaded full of things from 2 years ago to today and it was slow working with it. For pictures, we've tried dragging it to IMovie from Google Docs. We've had some discussions about how to put it on and ended up kind of frustrated with it. You would think that if we can get all the hard work done in about an hour, it would take us less to put it all on to IMovie! Exactly the opposite.
Which Schoolwide Learning Results were evident in this assignment?
I think collaborate constructively and learning enthusiastically were the most evident in this assignment because Shannon and I had worked together quite well to do our work, getting the video contents completed quickly. We didn't even have to split up the work, we just knew what to do with out telling the other what to do. Learning enthusiastically because it was part of our motivation to do our work. It was fun getting to move around outside of the class a little bit while getting work done. Shannon could be a stand-up comedian, which makes it that much funnier. Anyways, since we don't mind each other, we enjoyed each other's company and looked forward to doing the video, it was learning enthusiastically for us.
