The Anne-Family

The book I read was Number the Stars and Anne Frank. I loved how these books connected to each other and how both of them were historical.

My project fully shows what I was thinking about because this project has the focused questions I tried to answer.  In my project, I added research about World War 2 and Adolf Hitler-since, both of my books, are related to World War 2 and Hitler.

I think this project leveled up my thinking by deepening by thinking skills. I used to skip deep questions I found in my books, but now, I could answer these questions. I think the research about World war 2 and Hitler really developed my thinking skills because this researches gave me more information about these books. Which helped me answer the deep questions I found in my books.

My Thinglink Project about ‘Our Stories Make History’

My Final Reflection

The “Our Stories Make History” unit was very interesting, because it related to what was going on through our lives. I loved how this unit could summarize what was going through our life.
I organized my project by making a schedule to do every single assignment in order. This helped me a lot, for I could manage my time easily and find balance between other assignments.
I believe this primary source might be important to historians in the future, because they can relate to how 6th graders spend their time and life through COVID-19. This primary source could relate to 5th graders about what their life could have been like if they were 6th graders during this COVID-19.
Making my Emotional Timeline went well, because I managed my time well. Everyday, I could work for a short time to finish my assignments. While my emotional timeline was going well, I had challenges in the Reliability and Bias assignment, because all of my sources seemed trustworthy to me. I had lots of struggles defining trustworthy sources and non trustworthy sources.

(I attached my Survival Guide below, because I couldn’t get the video on Thinglink)

How has technology influenced humans over time?

My project is about how technology influenced humans throughout time. Below is the link to my thinglink. What worked for me was the research I did for early humans and modern days’ technology. When I did my research, I was able to get information-filled websites, which enabled me to easily grab valued information and paraphrase them. What didn’t work for me was oral reflection. I struggled a lot in writing the script because I had too many words, which made my video longer than the limited minutes for the video. Also, I kind of struggled in writing the script, because I didn’t understand the question well.





Hominids have developed through centuries and decades, developing into a closer hominid to us. Neanderthals are hominids, who I believe influenced and developed into homo sapiens, who influenced to us.


Homo neanderthals had many capabilities that helped with their survival. Homo neanderthals had large brains. They used their intelligence to become skilled toolmakers. Many types of neanderthals have been identified in many places around the world. These tools are NOT ordinary tools; these tools needed much more planning, skill and knowledge than the tools earlier hominids . have made. They learned how to make tools like knives, scrapers and spear points. When on a hunt, they used their tools to trap an animal, and kill them with spears.


Without the help of a sense of community, the homo neanderthals couldn’t have survived. When on a hunt, they worked together to hunt animals. When members of animals died, their bodies were laid in burial mounds, along with hunting tools and flowers. This suggest that the neanderthals cared for one another. Since they have a sense of community, they would have been able to learn from the experience form the wisdom of older members of the group.


In conclusion, homo neanderthals are developed hominids with a sense of community and intelligence; a hominid  looking forward to a much more developed hominid. I believe with the help of homo neanderthals, hominids could develop into homo sapiens. Which lead to homo sapiens sapiens,  us.

Autobiography Map


This is a project I did for Humanities. The below are some clues why I made the symbols like this…


My apartment is a plain,  because my apartment doesn’t have much things unique, like a plain.


Swimming is a mountain, because swimming has no end, just like the mountains.


My family is a valley, because my sibling and I are in the middle between mountains.


River is my life, because I believe they have no end.


My older brother is a volcano, because he always explodes with his anger and actions, which makes me scared the whole time.


My friends are an oasis, because they always encourage me.


My name is an island, since my name is not common and very unique.


Korea is a peninsula, because it is surrounded by a lot of interests. Also in general, Korea is a peninsula.


Friendship problems are a forest, since it’s hard to find a way to solve it.


My lake is a brain, because many things are mixed up in a lake, just like how many unorganized things wander around in my brain.


My goals are a desert, because they are far behind me, and I have to reach for it without any tools.


My dreams are a coast, since they vanish away when I ‘m hopeless about the specific dream.


Math is an ocean, because I’m always sinking in the ocean, calling for hep.
