Unit End Reflection

  • Our 5th Unit of Inquiry was ''Ancient Civilizations''.
  • In the beginning, we were asked to write down what we understand from the word ''Civilization''.
  • After that, it was the pre-unit assessment in which we were divided into 2 groups and were asked to make our own civilization, give it a name, and present it to the class.
  • Next up, we were given a big task for the holidays, in which we had to contribute lots and lots information to a Wiki. That activity was done in groups. 
  • After the holidays, we were divided into our reading & writing groups and we had to write an essay of different numbers, some were in 250 words, 500, 750, and we were in the group which had to write 1000 words. We had to write about 7-8 paragraphs of some of the ancient civilizations and how their beliefs contributed to their development. For example, the Greeks started the Olympics because they believed that their gods lived on Mt. Olympus.
  • Next up, we had an IT based Formative assessment, which was on Spicy Nodes. We had to write many nodes of the factors to the contribution of many civilizations as we could. And here's my Node : http://ayaan-akah5k.blogspot.in/2013/04/formative-assessment-using-spicy-nodes.html
  • And today, was our Summative Assessment in which we had to cut pictures of Ancient Hyderabad and make a booklet and behind the picture, we had to write what we understood from the pictures. After that, we had to make a Venn Diagram and we had to differenciate and similariate Ancient Hyderabad with Modern Hyderabad, and at the last, we had to write a reflection on the Summative.

Thank You for reading !!!

  1. A very well organised reflection, Ayaan. Can you please check the formatting? Some of your text can't be read.
