1. What did I feel successful doing during the process of the project? What am I proud of?
I feel very proud on my presentation because I worked very hard on it and I received good comments on it from my audience.
2. What new skills did I value learning?
I guess you can say that I have improved on my presentation skills on presenting with a small crowd.
3. What was challenging during the process of completing the project? With what did I struggle?
While I had no problems with presenting with an older crowd, my success ended when I was presenting with the smaller kids since they were only interested in my game and the candy than the presentation.
4. How could I have improved my process so that I would have been more effective?
Other than the little kid trauma, I have no problems and thought that I was okay.
5. Did I effectively create an age-appropriate presentation and game for the elementary students?
I did think I created a worthwhile game for the little and bigger people because that was the one of the reasons that they came to my booth.

1. What did I feel successful doing during the process of the project? What am I proud of?

I feel successful that I have finished my Empire page on the Roman Encyclopedia and that our Jeopardy game was a success. I am proud of everything I did in and out of the class(research).

2. What new skills did I value learning?

The new skills I value learning is that i know quite a lot of information about Ancient Rome and I found out that Rome is actually quite interesting.

3. What was challenging during the process of completing the project? With what did I struggle?

Getting the necessary information for that article in the Roman Encyclopedia and  sometimes in the Jeopardy game my group and I thought it was very annoying and frustrating when we didn’t know the answers to some of the questions.

4. How could I have improved my process so that I would have been more effective?

Work together and work harder.

• Think about the presentations and reflect on the projects your classmates presented and the information you listened to. Explain with details and specific information what you learned, what you found interesting, surprising, or shocking about the presentations you heard in class.

The surprising and interesting thing is somehow the topics the UN is doing is related to each other and the shocking thing is that so many people in the world is suffering so much while other people is happy and satisfied with their environment.

• What would you change to improve your project/presentation if you were to do the assignment again?
  

I would probably prepare more for the presentation and make sure that the presentation is more interesting to look at like more pictures explaining how you will get a lot of diseases because of the drugs.

Q: Should the permanent members of the Security Council continue to retain their veto power? Why or why not?

It really depends on the situation that the�UN may face, like they may face a�decision where the whole world will be made to candy, and if the UN say yes to that then everybody in the whole world who loves candy and those who havent’ tasted candy will immediatly start eating; soon the whole place will be full of young or old people getting fat and soon having heart diseases and not only people animals too because some animals aren’t allowed certain types of food will either give them some sort of serious disease or die from whatever ingredients in the candies. But if they say no then all that wouldn’t have happened to those people and animals.

Also another example if some�king from a country or state had a fight with another country or state and that other�queen fought back and decided that her country is not to have anyone seling thier products and traveling there the king of that country may lose alot of tourist attraction and products from other countries which may make the king angry and plan a world war 3 and if the UN agrees with this ( maybe because some curious person wanted to see what wars are like) then life would be miserable for those countries near the war; but if the UN diageed and find some other way that would end this all peacefully without a single fight breaking out.

• �What new information has come?

A�new planet has been discovered and that planet is very similar to Earth which is also believed to have running water on that planet.� The planet orbits the faint star Gliese 581, which is 20.5 light-years away in the constellation Libra.

• What did you find interesting about this topic?

What�I find interesting is that a planet so far away about 20.5 light - years away�from Earth can have running water.

• What did you like about the initial blog posting?

What I like about it is that there is a map showing where the planet was dicovered and the picture of the planet.

• What is the issue?

A muslim girl who is not allowed to wear a niqab and was thrown out of school and was brought before a Judge.

• Who is affected and how?

1. The muslim girl
2. Her parents
3. The teachers
4. The High Court

• What would you do if you were directly involved?

What i would do is to allow the girl to wear her niqab because of her religion and not only this girl but all muslim girls in Englandas well.

• What would you change about the final product (the wiki you created) if you were to do the assignment again?

I think I would put more pictures and add more details next time.

• Look at some of the other wikis from any class and find a few that you think are done exceptionally well. Tell me the name of the empire and the block, and then explain what you like about their wiki.

I liked the Mali empire because of the title graphics and the appropriate pictures and maps.

I like reading about the tools section in the Swahili Empire.

I like the Kongo Kingdom because of the pictures and the information about it.

I like the Ghana Empire for its unusual information such as the word Ghana means warrior or a king.
