A class with Sarah!

Friday we talk to Sarah and asked some very educational questions about the situation that is occurring in Egypt.He was a very nice person to talk to and i would be very happy if we were to talk to her again in the future. The questions that we asked were very good question and got alot of detailed answers out of all of them. The question that I asked Sarah was " How are children reacting to the new change of government." Sarah gave me a good answer and I learned alot in that class.

Questions for Sarah!

How old are you?
What part of Egypt are you from?
Why did you feel that you had to protest?
Do you protest?
What is like in that kind of environment?
What does your family think about it?
What do you do for a living?
How are kids reacting to the things that are going on back at your home?

Today in class some did there raps or songs. We also learned a bit more about the revolution in Egypt and watched a video about it. In the video the girl and the rest of her family were arguing views on what is right and wrong about the government and whether it should be overthrown. This starts disagreements and yelling. We also learned that we might talk to one of Mr.Schicks friends on Egypt, via Skype, about the revolution. She was a part of it and we will learn more tomorrow!

Nile River is HUGE!

The Nile River is about 6,670 km (4,160 miles) in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world. Although it is generally associated with Egypt, only 22% of the Nile’s course runs through Egypt.  In Egypt, the River Nile creates a fertile green valley across the desert. It was by the banks of the river that one of the oldest civilizations in the world began. The ancient Egyptians lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals. The River Nile is in Africa. It originates in Burundi, south of the equator, and flows northward through northeastern Africa, eventually flowing through Egypt and finally draining into the Mediterranean Sea. The River Nile is formed from the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria and the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. These rivers meet in Sudan and then go on their long journey northwards towards the sea. The White Nile is a lot bigger than the Blue Nile, but because of losses along the way the it only contributes about 15% to the flow of the combined Nile. The Blue Nile, rising in Ethiopia, contributes about 85% to the flow of the Nile that passes through Egypt to the Mediterranean. Many Ancient Egyptians live near the river for water, food, transportation and excellent soil for growing food.  Ancient Egypt could not have existed without the river Nile. Since rainfall is almost non-existent in Egypt, the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain crops. Every year, heavy summer rain in the Ethiopian highlands, sent a torrent of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile. When the floods went down it left thick rich mud (black silt) which was excellent soil to plant seeds in after it had been ploughed.

Friday was interesting!

Friday Madi and I started a project on the Nile river and got good information from sites. Monday we will continue our research!

Essay!!

Jared Diamond theory about geographic luck is a perfect theory in my opinion because it is all about the luck of the draw and whether or not you can sustain the economies these days. In these next couple of paragraphs I am going to be describing the ways Guinea was able to make their civilization known.

Guinea did not have geographic luck. It begun with the growing of wheat, and the pinning of goats. In the Middle East they were leading to the growing of the first Civilization. As villages grew, more people were there to support their civilization. People were able to discover new skills and new technologies. They made plaster from limestone which really started the popularity. They were coming up with a bunch of inventions. By contrast, people like New Guinea never developed new technology.

If they had all of that luck they would probably be as advanced or even more if they were able to get all of the help and support quicker and sooner. This would also give them a huge advantage for the 21^st century because they would be s advanced in domesticating animals and using more animals and other helpful objects to make the humans jobs simpler and easier.

Test Oh No

Today we review what was going to be on the test tomorrow and what we will be learning in units to come.

Day with out you!

Today you gave us a PowerPoint to do with our groups and we had to use CIA website to get most of our information!

Weird!!

Friday i left school because of a weird sickness!! Unable to be in class

How it all began!!

 Diamond discovered why some civilizations advance and others don’t, he went back in time (in research) to get a better prospective of what he was trying to learn. He noticed that after the ice age, a long time ago hunters and gathers became more populated after the ice age then before. The big part of this episode showed where they would store all the foods after the animals have been hunted. The people would gather the food in one place and once all that food was gone they would move on to another area. During all of this, in the Middle East, people were going through a drought and they had a low supply of food. This meant they couldn’t travel a lot; they had to stay near a water source, and live in starvation. This forced the people to start farming food and storing it for later. They plant the food cut it down them to eat. This disturbed the natural pattern of the food and they domesticated the food. They then stored the food in granaries and could store it for later. Just this one invention changed the way they lived because of the hunters and gatherers they were able to work on shelter and other important stuff to help them live. They could develop weapons, weave, and make new things. Now Papa New Guinea still lives this way and is fighting every day to progress their technology.
