Reflecting on Progress

In my wiki I need to work on the Communication part. I also need to add in pictures if I have time. I think that the communication part is the weakest in my blog because it only has one sentence. And the strogest is Entertainment because it has lots of pictures and it describes alot obout them and how they are important.
Reflections:
*Entertainment- Our group did well in entertainment because we had lots of ideas and we put 3 pictures to go with it.
*Business- our group was doing ok on this because we had no pictures, but I think the idea was fine except we didn't really describe it well enough. In other words the sentence was not clearly written.
*Communication- As I said communication was the wrost part. I am going to try to improve it after I finish this blog. The picture was too big and it took up all the space so I'm going to make it smaller. It doesn't have lots of imformation so we will need to add on.

Overall our group is working relly well together. we add our own ideas to the blog to support each other.

My Life in 2020

I woke up at five, took a bath, and got dress. I still can't belive this. It feels as if I was ten yesterday. I have collected enough money for me to get two horses. I walk to the big chest I used to contain my tools. I got out the watering can and filled it up with water from the lake that runs through my farm. Woof! Woof! Chip (my dog) started to run towards me. I took a toy bone out of my pocket and place it down on the ground. Chip began to play with the squeaky bone and then she drag it to her dog house. I watered my crops then crouch down to see if there are any worms or bugs. An hour past and it was time to go out to get the horses. "Chip!" I yelled. She ran towards me and I hook the leash on her collar. "Let's go." I said. We walked to the meeting place and I saw the man with the horses. I sprited slowly towards him and he handed me the horses. I gave him the money, release more of the leash, and got on one of the horses. There wasn't a saddle but there were reins. It wasn't that hard to ride and lead another horse at the same time. I got back to my farm and put the horses in the stable. I knew the horses weren't ready for use yet they have to get use to the place first. Everyday I would check on my cows, sheeps, dog, and horses then let them out to have grass or play in the big field. Two months later I used the horses for the first time. Still when it is mid day I would let them have a break. When my crops grow I sell them in town to get money to buy new tools or animals. I also let tourists in for photos and tours. I collected lots of money a day, it made me have an easy life. Everyday I was cheerful and I will work like this forever.

Maps of the Ancient World

Today in humanities we looked at maps of the anciet world and talked as a group about what we see/think/wonder. I think that some of the maps are old and some of them are new because the 1st map doesn't have longtitude and latitude lines.
This is the differences-
1st Map-Sumer is circled
-the land is greenish yellow
-Around the land is white which we think is the sea
2nd Map-there is a scale on the bottom left corner we think that the scale tells how high the land is to sea level
-there are Latitude and Longtitude lines
-Around the land is light blue
3rd Map-there are stars on it and next to the stars are names which is probably the names of cities
-In the small map Turkey, Sytia, Iraq, and Kuwait is in yellow which makes us think that it is the names of the countries
4th Map-Persian GUlf is in blue I think it represents the water (sea, rivers, lakes etc.

Life at ISKL

The pictures in the slide show below were took by my partner and I. They are pictures of the school grounds. We choose these pictures because we thought they explain the school the most. We also thought they had the best qualities.

Wang Nam Khiew

During winter break I went to Wang Nam Khiew in Nakorn Rachasima, Thailand. The weather is quite cold in the morning and afternoon. There were many pictures taken and lots of activities done such as driving the ATV, flying fox, rock climbing, and many more. I liked driving the ATV best out of all the activities because the ATV track was very smooth but with lots of curves. At one time, I forgot to hold the break while going down the hill and with that I crashed into a bush and almost fell into the lake infront of the bush. Anyways it was very exciting. The place that I liked the most was "Jim Thomson's Farm" because there were lots of beautiful flowers and the weather was cool and relaxing. There is also something like a museum for you to see how Thai people used the silk from caterpillars to make silk for Thai clothing. It was very interesting. One staff would be at one place and show you how to do that step(s), then they will let you try if you want to. I think that this time is very special to me because I get to go with my family, 3 cousins, and other relatives such as: aunt, uncle etc.

My Plans for the Holiday

In winter break I am going to Thailand to see my cousins, play with my dogs, and see my relatives (greatgrandma, aunt, uncle, etc.) I think I am going to have lots of fun and I am really looking forward to the plane ride and thai food.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Have a great holiday!!!

Why do civilizations have laws?

I think civilization have laws because then the ruler of the land could still have power to controll his people. When people break laws they get punish and that i think is what makes the ruler more powerful. If you get punish you probably wouldn't like it and so you follow the laws made, then you won't get into trouble, and that kind of means you are listening to the ruler (obeying him/her)That is why I think civilization have laws.
