During this activity, our class split into five groups and worked on a simulation in which we had to develop a written language, architecture, laws, and also materials needed to build a secret weapon to concur all the other civilization groups.

During the simulation, I personally wrote the trade symbols, and helped a little bit with the trading. As a group, we divided the work load by having Arthur and Kiss build the temple, having Linda writing the written language, having Eugene writing the laws and punishments if the law was broken, and having me write the trading symbols and helping with the laws after I was finished making the trading symbols.

Our biggest accomplishment as a civilization wasn’t really a big accomplishment, it was only finishing our trading symbols because it helped us a lot when we needed to trade. Our weakest point as a civilization was writing our laws and punishments because we couldn’t come up with enough laws or punishments, we only came up with around 3 laws and punishments.

If I could do this activity again, I would change the jobs that some people were doing like having Linda coming up with the laws instead of Eugene because Eugene said that he can’t think of any laws or punishments. I would also have Eugene write the trading symbols because that is an easier job. I would keep Arthur and Kiss doing the architecture because they made very good progress when we were doing the simulation. I would write the written language and help trade for our group.
