Reflection

Today, we went to Choumahallah Palace and The Nizam's Museum to find about the Nizams' culture.
In the Choumahallah Palace, we saw the currency,paintings,clothes,throne,the chandler etc.

The currency of that time was very rusty.Some coins were circle and some were square.Some even had holes in them. The notes had a big amount. If you stretch your thumb and the pinky finger as far as you could, that would make a note.

The weapons were very sharp. Sharper than a porcupine. The most sharp one which I think was the tallest one which was in the second room.

Reflection of the unit

• Our unit was about Traditions and Rituals.
• In that, we had so much fun.
• I liked the part when we had to do our summative assessment.
• We had to make a culture of our own.
• We didn't do presentations, we did a gallery walk.
• Everyone gave comments to each others work and told them what to improve and what was good.
• When we were finished, we had a class discussion.
